Solway Sharks have this evening announced the signing of young Czech defenceman Marek Charvat who joins the club from Polish side GKS Jastrzebie where he tallied a goal and ten assists in the space of thirty one games. Starting out with HC Vitkovice’s Under 16s team in 2009, Charvat progressed through the club’s junior ranks, eventually fulfilling the role of captain when icing with the Under 20s team in their 2014-15 campaign. From here, Charvat switched to the Western States Hockey League to play for Oklahoma City Jr. Blazers where he averaged a point per game, racking up eleven goals and forty assists in fifty one games. Set to make his debut for the Dumfries outfit next month, Charvat now joins youngster Stuart Kerr and experienced ‘D’ men James Hutchinson and Kyle Horne on Solway’s roster as Head Coach Martin Grubb continues to assemble his squad ahead of the Sharks’ upcoming campaign.
