Following last night’s news that experienced ‘D’ man Josh Grieveson will return to Solway Sharks for another season, the Dumfries club have today announced that former Blackburn Hawks defenceman Lewis Baldwin will also be patrolling their blue line in September. Playing his junior ice hockey for Bradford Bulldogs, Baldwin broke into the senior side in their 2015-16 campaign. In the following season, the youngster then iced in the EPL with Manchester Phoenix, playing in thirty seven games during which he notched a goal and two assists, besides featuring for both Sheffield Steeldogs and Blackburn Hawks. It was in this season that Baldwin impressed for the Lancashire outfit, racking up four goals and four assists in just six games. Having made an impact in a small space of time, the young prospect then signed for the Hawks for their 2017-18 season in which he accumulated nine goals and fifteen assists over the course of thirty four appearances. Expected to demonstrate his offensive ability as well as his dexterity in defence when he takes to the ice with the Sharks in their 2018-19 campaign, the industrious defenceman is undoubtedly an excellent addition to the Sharks’ roster.

Solway Sharks have made their first signing this summer with the announcement that defenceman Josh Grieveson will return to their roster for the 2018-19 campaign. Icing on a two-way contract with EIHL side Braehead Clan and Martin Grubb’s Dumfries outfit last season, Grieveson featured in nineteen games for the Sharks, utilising his experience to ensure consistency and strength on Solway’s blue line. So far in his career the twenty-one-year-old defenceman has played ice hockey in America, icing with Middlesex Black Bears in the USHS before joining Dundee Stars in the Elite League in 2016. It was from here that Grieveson made the switch to Braehead, dividing his time between the Clan and the Sharks to gain as much ice time as possible. Always reliable, the ‘D’ man is once again expected to employ his strong work ethic when he ices with Solway in September and, as such, will no doubt make an impact for the Dumfries club in their upcoming campaign.
