Solent Devils 2024/25 Signing Alert – Ben Lock

Devils D-Core *Locks* In

Tonight the Solent Devils are very excited to announce the return of Fan Favourite Shut-Down Defenceman Ben Lock!

The 30 year old will be joining the team for his ninth season after taking some time away from the sport, announcing his retirement in 2022-23.

This season, Lock’s role on the team will be to fill in as injury cover.
When the team’s D-Core is missing key players, Lock can step in and help out the team.

Lock has been a staple of the Devils D-Core in the past with his defensive mind putting his body on the line to shut down chances. After the Devils 2022-2023 Playoff run, alongside other Devils legends, Lock decided to hang his skates to focus on other aspects of his life.

Now Lock looks to return to the sport with familiar ground with the Devils!

When asked about his return to the Solent Devils, Lock had this to say,

I am very excited to be back and to help the club during an important time of the season.
The Devils is, and will always be, very special to me and hopefully I can support Muzza and the team till the end of the year.

Head Coach Alex Murray had this to say regarding his latest signing,

I’m really pleased to bring back a fan favourite like Locky during a period where we have a busy schedule!
Locky has been back in training for the past few weeks and will be available for selection from next weekend based on our needs.

Commenting on Ben Lock’s expected impact, Murray added,

He will add experience and size to our defensive line up and will be a valuable asset to utilise down the stretch.

Ben Lock will be wearing his iconic #71 for the Solent Devils for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.

Ben currently does not have an Own and Loan sponsor.
