DEVILS DOUBLE DOWN ON DEFENCE
Tonight, the Solent Devils continue to build their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 season!
This time around, the Devils add even more size and youth to their defence core with the return of Fan Favourite Defenceman #2 Kris Nekrosevicius!
The 2024/25 season was another successful season for Kris which saw him step up and play a career high in games for the Senior Devils while also playing at a point per game for the Solent Devils NIHL 2 squad.
Nekrosevicius had 5 goals and 6 assists for 11 points in 11 NIHL 2 games while also participating in 31 regular season games for the Solent Devils.
Kris also played in all of the Devils playoff and cup games helping to support the team, keeping the puck out of their zone and even assiting on a goal during the teams Cup push.
Kris signs another two-way contract with the Devils this upcoming season allowing him to continue his development playing in both NIHL 1 and NIHL 2.
After re-signing with the team, we sat down with Kris to ask him a few questions ahead of the 2025/26 season:
The 2025/26 season will be your 5th consecutive season within the Solent Devils system, What are your thoughts on being back with the Solent Devils for another season?
I’m glad to be back, I love the team and the atmosphere on and off the ice, as well the support from the fans!
We asked Nekrosevicius “You have been a part of a most of the Devils recent big moments in terms of pushes for silverware, what was your favourite moment of this past season and what did it teach you going forward?”, the Right Shot D-Man said:
My favourite moment from the past season was getting through to the Cup Final, I feel like the team really came together as we were all pushing for it.
I think the biggest lesson we were taught last season was not to get too complacent, but also to have more trust in the systems we had in place.
Building off of this, we asked Kris what his personal focus is for the upcoming season:
My focus for next season is to keep performing at a high standard and to help the team bring back some silverware!
We wrapped up our interview by asking Kris about you, the fans, heres what he had to say:
Playing in front of the Solent Devils fans is always a pleasure, hearing the horns and the cheers always helps to push us further.
(Message to the fans) Thank you all for your continued support, I’m looking forward to being back and seeing you all in September!
Kristijonas Nekrosevicius will continue to wear #2 for the Solent Devils.
