Full Signing interview
How does it feel to be returning to the Solent Devils for your second season?
I’m over the moon to be back in Solent for the 2025/26 season, it was a no-brainer for me signing again and playing for a well structured team and a great group of boys and playing in front of great fans!
How did you find your first season with the club?
I loved my season as a Devil,
being welcomed by everyone, it felt like home very quick and getting on with all the boys.
What was your overall view of the past season?
I thought last season went well, a new team with a lot of new faces everything clicked really well and really quickly.
Joining the Devils, you were reunited with some familiar faces in the locker room in players such as Coleman and Peacock, as well as continuing to play alongside Buckle and Banner.
How did this help you and the team?
It was great to play with some old teammates again,
the team chemistry was great last year with the old and new teammates,
everyone clicked really quick and was a pleasure to be part of such a great room!
Heading into the 2025/26 season what is your personal focus?
My main focus this season is to win some silverware and give our amazing fans something to celebrate!
The Gosport Ice Arena has become an exciting place to play thanks to the passionate Solent Devils supporters and the electric atmosphere they create.
How has playing at home influenced you and the squad?
The devils fans are amazing, week in week out and playing in front of them every week is a pleasure, they are like the sixth man on the ice and get behind us every week!
Travis concluded his interview with his message to the fans!
