Tonight, the Devils are proud to officially announce the re-signing of Forward Charlie Wedge!
Wedge adds speed and youth to their upcoming squad improving the squads depth.
The 2024/25 season was a breakout season for Charlie with a combined 40 points!

Wedge smashed his previous career best with the Solent Devils as he scored 20 points in 32 games! Charlie scored double digits with 11 goals leaving his previous career high at this level in the past. He also assisted on 9 goals for the team which cemented himself time on the teams top unit!
This upcoming season, Charlie Wedge signs another two-way contract with the Devils, allowing him to continue his development playing in both NIHL 1 and NIHL 2.
After re-signing with the team, we sat down with Wedge to ask him a few questions to reflect on his achievements and to look ahead of the 2025/26 season:
To begin the interview by asking Charlie about his re-signing,
Signing again for my 5th season with the devils was an easy decision for me.
Each year at the club, it gets better and better.
I can’t wait for next season to start!
Building off of his growing enjoyment of being apart of the club, we asked him what his favourite part of the past season was:
My highlight of the season was beating Streatham at home despite us being short benched!
It really showed how much depth the team has, and when big moments like this come around, everyone stepped up and got the job done!
As previously mentioned in this article, Wedge put up a career high in goals for the Solent Devils. We asked Charlie about this achievement and how his game has evolved.
It’s always good to get on the scoresheet and help the team and hopefully next season I can contribute more.
This upcoming season will be your 5th consecutive with the team, what is your main focus heading into this season?
Some silverware would be lovely, alongside focusing on getting consistent results against the top 3 teams all season round.
The Gosport Ice Arena has become an exciting place to play due to the passionate Devils supporters and the electric atmosphere they create. How has playing at home influenced you and the squad?
Playing at home is a surreal feeling!
If we’re ever down in a game we remind ourselves of all the fans that have come to watch that we can’t let down.
The team definitely play our best in front of our fans. It wouldn’t be the same without them.
Charlie concluded his interview with his message to the fans!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone again in September, bring the noise!
Charlie Wedge will continue to wear #22 for the Solent Devils.
