LACKEY LOCKS IN
TTonight, the Solent Devils celebrate the weekend with another addition to their growing 2025/26 roster!
Tonight, the Solent Devils are excited to finally reveal the re-signing of Forward Dan Lackey!
Lackey adds experience and leadership and well as a wealth of skill to the team’s upcoming squad!
The 2024/25 season was shortened for Lackey with him only playing in 21 regular season games. However, this did not slow down his contributions as he collected 5 Goals and 8 Assists for 13 Points in those games.
Lackey also stepped up playing in the teams 4 Cup Games where he collected an assist. He also played in both of the teams Playoff Games.
After re-signing with the team, we sat down with Lackey to ask him a few questions to reflect on last season and his thoughts ahead of the 2025/26 season:
The interview begun by asking Dan how it feels to return to the Devils for his 8th season!
I’m very happy to be back, it’s a great organisation to represent.
It’s a very professional set up, with high standards and a group for great guys and girls who are involved.
Lackey has been a key part of past Devils teams, last season saw him take on a depth leadership role on the team. We asked Lackey how, as a leader, he found the younger Solent team from the past season.
I think it was a positive change, the younger lads bought a lot of energy on and off the ice!
Last year was a lot of fun and they all integrated well!
It’s a very tight knit room for sure!
As for my role, it’s nice not to have so many minutes, so a welcome rest at times!
I’m a fairly quiet guy in the room, I like to lead by example where I can by playing hard!
Not sure the fans would say I was quiet by how I am on the ice….
“Looking to next season, what is your personal focus?”
I’m hoping to contribute to a few more points next year!
After a great start in the first 8 games last year I feel as though I fell off a cliff!
I need to keep it up and help the team where I can by being more clinical.
As always, we asked Lackey to conclude his interview by giving us an insight into his experience with you, the Devils Fans!
The fans are a huge part of what makes playing at Solent enjoyable!
The turn up week in week out to cheers us on and meet up in the Sailmaker after!
It’s a great family atmosphere and when it’s bouncing in there it’s a privilege to play in front of the fans!
Let’s bring the atmosphere again next year and as a team break the Silverware curse!
Dan Lackey will continue to wear #9 for the Solent Devils.
