Whitley
Warriors have today announced the signing of long-serving forward Callum Watson
who made his debut with the Hillheads club in 2006 to break into senior ice
hockey. Though continuing to ice for the Braves in his 2007-08 campaign, Watson’s ice time for the Warriors was
significantly increased, the forward averaging a point per game. Utilising his
skill and speed ever since, Watson continues to excel in front of goal, just
last season recording thirty seven points during Whitley’s
league campaign. Another excellent signing for the Warriors, Watson will now
turn his attention to the upcoming season which sees Whitley begin with a trip to the Dumfries Ice Bowl on Saturday 9th September.

In other news,
The Dragons have added fan favourite Owen Bennett to their roster as the
forward moves to the Deeside-based club from Telford Tigers. Having
played for the Shropshire outfit from 2007 to 2015, Bennett iced for the Tigers
in both the English National League and the EPL before switching to the Dragons
for their 2015-16 campaign in NIHL North’s Laidler Conference. Enjoying the
Dragons’ successful promotion battle and playoff final victory, Bennett then
returned to the Tigers’ NIHL side last season. Renowned for picking up more
penalty minutes than points, Bennett is always entertaining and, not one to shy
away from the physical aspect of the sport, the forward will certainly bring an
edge to his game when he ices with the Dragons next month.
