Welcome to the second edition of "Around The EIHL", the regular piece covering the Elite League itself as opposed to any member club in it. Like the first edition we are going to see who signed where and who has also left where. Another transfer round-up so to say.
All transfer activity is up to and including Monday 21 May 2018. Read on then...
We will start of course with the Belfast Giants, and they have been busy in their team building with six players announced on one day to take their 2018-19 roster up to eight. Five of the six are familiar faces though. Long time servants Mark Garside, Colin Shields and Stephen Murphy are all back in teal with Murphy being awarded a testimonial for ten years service to the Giants. Back for a second year are Jonathan Ferland and Dustin Johner, Johner hoping for a better season than last after an injury plagued dèbut one. There's also a new face in the shape of promising British forward Lewis Hook who joins from Milton Keynes. One departure has been confirmed though, netminder Jackson Whistle leaves for EIHL rivals Sheffield.
Braehead are up next. Back for another season are defenceman Zach Sullivan and forwards Craig Peacock and Matthew Haywood; Haywood being the sole player who has been with the Clan since its inception in 2010. There's a new face too in former Hull Academy player Jack Musil; Jack joins the Clan after spending eight years in North America. Leaving Clan Towers for pastures new, but not known at the moment, is Bari McKenzie. Since we last updated there has been no transfer movement for the Cardiff Devils but we expect the Devils are actively working behind the scenes as always.
Two additions for the Coventry Blaze roster of 2018-19; with Kevin Nastiuk re-joining for a second season and British defenceman Alex Forbes making the short journey to the Sky Dome from Milton Keynes. One new face signed at Dundee Stars as defenceman Connor Cox arrives on Tayside from the University of Saskatchewan where he has played for the last five seasons. No arrivals reported at Fife Flyers but netminder Jordan Marr has departed Kirkcaldy; he's joined NIHL South 1 club Peterborough Phantoms. Three re-signings for Guildford Flames with Jesse Craige, Kruise Reddick and Brett Ferguson returning to last season's surprise packet.
Like Cardiff there has been no further additions to the Manchester Storm roster yet. One in and three out though at Milton Keynes Lightning, with former Coventry Blaze netminder Adam Goss arriving from Mercyhurst University yet Lewis Hook, Alex Forbes and Matt Nickerson are moving onto Belfast, Coventry and TUTO Hockey respectively. No further movements in and out at the Nottingham Panthers as new head coach Rich Chernomaz gets ready for his opening season as Corey Neilson's replacement. Two arrivals to finish with at Sheffield Steelers, netminder and GB internationalist Jackson Whistle arrives from Belfast and he is joined by his younger brother Brandon who joins from Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the British Columbia Hockey League.
