Swindon Wildcats confirm 3 more returnees before the NIHL

Swindon Wildcats are delighted to confirm three more returnees ahead of the new NIHL National League campaign. Eliot Randall, Tyler Perre and Michael Crisp, will all once again be part of the Wildcats.

Eliot joined the team last summer from the Swindon Wildcats Ice Hockey Academy and iced in 33 games in all competitions for the club. Scoring his first senior goal away against the MK Thunder. As well as this, Eliot iced in 21 games for the NIHL2 Wildcats where he contributed 19 points (14 Goals, 5 Assists).

Tyler also joined the Wildcats last summer and shared time with Michael Crisp as back-ups to Renny Marr. He posed a .896 save % as he helped guide the Wildcats into the knockout rounds of the NIHL Autumn Cup after wins in games between Sheffield and Telford back at the start of the 18/19 season.

Michael has been a part of the Wildcats for a few seasons now and will continue this into the forthcoming season. Crispy will once again share the back-up spot with Tyler Perre who will continue to develop his game starting for the NIHL2 Wildcats when he can.

Head Coach Aaron Nell was thrilled to have secured the services of the trio again for the 19/20 season.

“I’m delighted to have these three back with us next season. Eliot came in and performed really well having made the first step into senior hockey, his never-say-die attitude helped us through some tough games last year and I am keen to see how he fares in his second season. He is an exciting young player and we are glad to have him in Swindon.

Tyler came in and performed superbly for us when called upon. He got some huge wins for us over the course of the season including a tough win away in Sheffield. He is a big goalie who covers the net well and is a key part of the net minding trio. He is learning from Renny and wants to improve himself game on game.

Crispy is also a big part of the team and is someone we can rely on when Tyler is icing for the second team. He loves being a Wildcat and he gets on really well with everyone in the locker-room. His character rubs off on everyone around him and we’re pleased he’ll stay around for another season.
