Sunday 27th July, the Solent Devils sign their 17th player to their upcoming 2025/26 squad!
Tonight, the Devils are proud to officially reveal the re-signing of talented young Defenceman Jack Hoppes!
Hoppes adds youth, skill and speed to the Devils upcoming back-end.
The 2024/25 season saw Hoppes make the move from the Streatham Development system to the Solent Devils and instantly he had an impact!
Last season was a breakout season for Jack Hoppes with him posting a career high in points!
Hoppes’s first season for the Devils saw him step into a consistent role on the team.
Jack stepped into top defensive minutes for the team and helped the team keep the puck out of the net to help finish towards the top of the league in defensive stats.
Hoppes also stepped up contributing offensively finishing 11th in team scoring with 13 points, 5 Goals and 8 Assists, most of which were on the Power Play.
Jack also was a key part of the Devils push for silverware with him playing in all of the teams cup and playoff games.
Hoppes contributed a point in the teams cup run and was a point a game in the playoffs!
The ex Berkshire Bee and GB U18 star will join the Devils for his second season in September, here’s what he had to say about re-signing.
I’m really excited to be back with the Devils this season,
the whole organisation from supporters to the team made it an easy decision!
Last season was Hoppes’ first with the club, reflecting on this, Hoppes said:
Last season I found it to be an easy transition down to having such a great locker room and welcoming supporters.
Continuing to discuss last season, here was Hoppes’ thoughts,
Last season had its ups and downs. Most of which I really enjoyed. But I think the main objective is to finish with some silverware which we couldn’t quite get a hold of and I think we are all coming back with that in mind.
As previously mentioned, last season saw Jack play top minutes for the Devils with some time on the teams Power Play, Here’s how Jack found taking on this responsibility?
I was grateful to be trusted with the on-ice responsibilities I was given last season and can only hope to improve my impact this year.
The Solent Devils fans left an impact on Hoppes and the team,
My first impression of the supporters were how amazingly vocal and supportive they are. Playing in a smaller rink limits the number of fans we can have but they were still as loud and proud as our competition which is very encouraging when on the ice.
I cannot wait for the season to begin and am looking forward to seeing everyone whilst back on the ice!
Jack Hoppes will continue to wear #25 for the Solent Devils.
Jack Hoppes is looking for an own and loan sponsor!
