The 19 for 19 line-up is now completed with the signing of promising forward Rob Eley and bench coach Paul Thompson.
#19 : Rob Eley
While Rob will also ice for the Barons in the tie, few could deny he has earned his place as a 19 for 19 Legend. In a long career with Solihull, Rob has put the puck in the net more than 150 times for the Barons with more still for the Kings and the Blaze.
Very much a leader on and off the ice Rob has been the Barons captain for a number of seasons including the league and play-off Laidler double winning seasons in 13-14 and 14-15 and a massively impressive debut season for the Barons in the Moralee.
Paul Thompson
Paul Thompson began his hockey career as a D-man for the Barons and later with the Sheffield Steelers.
These days he is undoubtedly better known as one of the most respected coaches in hockey having coached the Barons and then taking the Solihull Blaze to Coventry where he would have a long spell including multiple EIHL Championships.
Exploring options abroad, Thompson would coachin both Denmark and Sweden before returning to the UK to take on the Head Coach position at the Steelers. |
