SOLENT SECURE EVANS
The Solent Devils are thrilled to announce the re-signing of British Forward Oscar Evans.
In his first full season Evans was one of handful of players who iced in every league game, scoring 6 goals, and providing the assist on 5 more. When asked about his decision Evans said
It was an easy decision for me to return to the Devils because they are all a great bunch of guys who all love hockey and obviously the Devils fans, whose support is second to none!
Head Coach Murray reacts
I’m excited that Oscar returns to our line-up for next season! Oscar is a talented young British winger who is growing in confidence whilst playing a more influential role within the line up!
Evans first joined the squad for the 2020-21 season, but with the pandemic putting the season on hold, when it eventually resumed with the Spring Series, Evans was back on the ice and became an NIHL South Cup Champion.
When asked about his season highlight Evans continues
My personal highlight from last season was scoring away at Bristol in a sold-out rink! The noise from our fans was tremendous, it was a great experience to play in front of so many people.
Reflecting on last season Evans adds
Last season was really tough for me personally after having almost 2 years out of hockey due to injuries and COVID. I really struggled to get going and found it extremely frustrating. But as the season went on, I started to find my feet again and I’m hoping to start next season fully prepared and continue with the same momentum!
Commenting on how he maintains his off-season fitness, Evans shares
I am away in America all summer coaching/playing hockey so I’m sure that’ll keep me fit!
Murray continues
Oscar is a great team guy who works hard on and off the ice as well as continuing to develop his game, so he is ready for those big game moments and minutes
Evans concludes
I’m looking forward to wearing the Devils shirt again in front of our incredible fans! Increasing my point tally and doing everything I can to get us some silverware.
Evans will return to the Devils in shirt #47. If you would like to sponsor a Devil or become a team sponsor, contact devilssupporters@outlook.com
