READY FOR RUSSELL
The Solent Devils continue to develop their new roster for the 2026/27 NIHL 1 South season tonight with the announcement of their 11th player!
Joining the squad, the Solent Devils are thrilled to announce the return of British Forward, Cain Russell!
Russell’s 2025/26 season was cut short due to work and family commitments but he still managed to leave an impact finishing top 10 in scoring and sitting just under a point-a-game! You may remember his viral goal which punched the teams ticket to the Britton Cup Semi Finals!
The season before last, Cain finished as the teams top scorer with over 50 points!
Re-Signing Interview:
After inking the deal, we sat down with Cain Russell to discuss the season ahead,
What are your thoughts on returning to the Solent Devils for the 2026/27 season?
I’m very excited to return this season it’s been home for many years over my overall playing career and it’s where my family are.
Last season was a challenging one for the team and a change up for yourself, what aspects are you planning to take from last season to build on for this upcoming season?
Last season was definitely a challenge we had to overcome a lot of hurdles and obviously I wasn’t around as much as I had wished to be, but we took a few lessons for sure from last season I believe we will look to create higher intensity and more physicality in games to name a few.
Since returning to the Devils, your development as a player come leaps and bounds, as a younger player, what are you enjoying about being apart of the devils the most and what are you looking to develop this season?
Since I returned back to Gosport I’ve had so many good moments with the boys most importantly it was a chance for me to come home and be with my family whilst still playing a decent level of hockey, however as far as development goes this season I hope to just do what I can to help the boys and play in whatever role I’m needed in!
Finally, What is your message to the Solent Devils fans?
Finally my message for the fans is to keep up the noise and hopefully we will bring some silverware back!
Cain Russell will continue to wear #96 for the Solent Devils.
