Re-Signing Interview:
After signing with the team, we sat down with Kris to discuss the season ahead,
What are your thoughts on returning to the Solent Devils for the 2026/27 season?
I’m excited to be re-signing with the team for the 2026/27 season; I feel the club has helped me develop massively as an individual, both on and off the ice. Building on last year’s run, I’m eager to continue my progress with the team and I’m looking forward to playing in front of our fans again!
Last season was a challenging one, what aspects are you planning to take from last season to build on for this upcoming season?
Last season was difficult… we started strongly, but unfortunately came up short towards the end due to injuries and small issues with team cohesion. Despite that, I feel that we are ready to put last season behind us. I’m looking forward to expanding my play further and hopefully helping the team push on towards National and Cup Finals.
Recent seasons have seen your development as a player come leaps and bounds. As a younger player, what are you enjoying most about being in the Devils system and what are you looking to develop this season?
Playing for the Devils has greatly impacted my development – it’s a great team with talented and experienced players who have helped me further improve my game. Having the opportunity to play in both NIHL 2 and NIHL 1 has allowed me to experience different paces and styles of hockey, which has definitely benefited me as a player. This season, I’m looking to continue developing all aspects of my style of play while helping the team improve on last year’s results by challenging for trophies and strong league finishes.
Finally, Kris, what is your message to the Solent Devils’ fans?
Hello Devils fans! Thank you for your continued support, hearing your chants and cheers truly motivates us to go further and push harder every time we step onto the ice. Your support means a lot to the whole team, we’re looking forward to putting on a great show for you this season. I can’t wait to see you all back at the rink very soon!
Kris Nekrosevicius will continue to wear #2 for the Solent Devils.
