Following a season with Solway Sharks in NIHL North, player-assistant coach Martin Cingel has decided to step into a full-time coaching role with Edinburgh Capitals’ Scottish National League outfit. Further to this, Cingel will also train with Edinburgh’s Elite League roster, providing injury cover as their fifteenth import next season.

Fulfilling the role of captain at the club between 2006 and 2014, Cingel has eleven years of playing experience with Edinburgh Capitals, during which time the on-ice leader has featured in over five hundred games to accumulate an impressive four hundred and sixty three points for the outfit.

As one of Solway’s greatest assets this season, with twenty goals and eighteen assists to his name, Cingel has also been involved in the Sharks’ coaching setup, working alongside Head Coach Martin Grubb and Development Coach Scott McMeeken whilst recovering from a fractured clavicle sustained mid-season.

Commenting on Cingel’s departure from the club, Grubb told NIHL Northern Trio: “I am very pleased for Martin Cingel as Edinburgh is where he is rightly considered a legend and I am glad I had the pleasure of working with him. He is a true professional who knows the game inside out and cares about his team and his team mates. He will be missed here but I hope I have helped him in some way as he embarks on his coaching role. I wish him nothing but success and I know he will do a great job.”

NIHL Northern Trio would like to take this opportunity to wish Martin Cingel all the best for the future as he prepares for his new role with Edinburgh Capitals.
