TAYLOR LOCKS DOWN THE CREASE!
Tonight, the Solent Devils continue to add to their competitive 2025/26 roster by announcing another player!
This time around, the Solent Devils add with the re-signing of their primary Starting Goaltender… #92 Aaron Taylor!
The 2024/25 season was Taylor’s second as the Devils main Goaltender and it saw him step up to support the team to push for silverware, putting up career highs in games played as well as his statistics!
Taylor put up an impressive .926 save percentage in his 25 starts with a Goals Against Average of 2.68!
Aaron shut the door on 771 shots out of the 833 shots he faced in his 1,387 minutes and 31 seconds played!
This includes 2 shutouts!
Taylor also topped the league charts finishing 4th in the league in netminder save percentage!
Aaron did not shy away in big moments!
Taylor saved 150 out of the 164 shots he faced in the Devils cup run and in the Playoffs he put up a .924 save percentage in the 2 games with a shutout in game 1 of the Quarter Finals!
Now, Taylor re-joins Solent to continue building on the progress made last season!
We sat down with Aaron to ask him a few questions regarding his re-signing and ahead of the 2025/26 season:
What are your thoughts on being back with the Solent Devils for the 2025/26 season and what made you choose to re-sign with the Devils?
I’m really excited to be back this year, it wouldn’t feel right to be playing anywhere else; both the fans and boys are part of my extended family!
When asked about his highlight from the past season, Taylor said:
There was a lot of great moments from last year however I really enjoyed the win against Streatham on our Christmas Jersey Theme Night!
It was a great win and we got to skate with the fans afterwards to celebrate.
We asked Aaron “What’s something you learned last season that you plan to implement into your game come September?”
The league schedule got a little more intense last season, so I have been taking my pre-season training a little more seriously this year.
Building off of this, we asked Taylor what his personal focus is for the upcoming 2025/26 season:
My focus every year is to be as consistent as possible for the team,
my numbers last year were better than the season before, so hopefully I can stay on that trajectory.
At the Solent Devils Presentation Evening 2025, Aaron Taylor picked up 2 Awards!
The Players Player Award and the Supporters Club Player of the Season Award!
Anyone at the presentation evening will know how much it meant to me as I got a bit emotional, however for those that weren’t there, thank you and it’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to represent such an incredible club with great people on and off the ice!
Finally, Taylor concluded with a special message to the fans!
The fans are amazing, all the boys constantly talk about doing our utmost to pay them back for the support they show!
I seem to have my own little fan club down by the cafe stand that give me a renewed spirit every time I let one in that I’d want back.
We all want something shiny this upcoming season to pay the fans back for their continued support and as long as we keep coming close, I’m positive we will achieve that soon.
Aaron Taylor will continue to wear #92 for the Solent Devils in the 2025/26 season.
