NIHL Signing News

NIHL News

Billingham Stars have confirmed the re-signing of defenceman Matthew Campbell who is likely to switch his place on the blue line for a forward role as he heads into his sixth campaign with the Teesside club. Having previously divided his time between the Stars’ NIHL team and their Under 20s outfit, where he recently fulfilled the role of alternate captain, Campbell played his first full senior season for Billingham in his latest outing, tallying a goal and two assists in seventeen games. Ready for this new challenge, Campbell will take to the ice with the Stars in a few weeks’ time when they commence their league campaign against The Dragons on Saturday 2nd September.

In other news, Nottingham Lions have re-signed defenceman Luke Smith who joined the club last September after playing three seasons for Coventry Blaze’s NIHL 2 team where he was presented with the alternate captaincy over the course of two consecutive campaigns. Smith makes the step up into NIHL North’s Division One, having previously enjoyed promotion to the English National League with Solihull Barons in 2011. As such, Smith will be familiar with some of the competition he is set to face now that the 2017-18 season is almost upon us.
