Telford Tigers are pleased to announce the return of forward Lucas Price for the 2024/25 season. The 19 year old returns for his third campaign with the club after an injury hit season last year.
Lucas commented on his return to the club, “I’m super excited to sign for my third year in Telford, I think since I’ve been here Tom (Watkins) has really helped me develop my game and I’m excited for what next year brings. Although it was a really tough end to last year for me personally, I can’t wait to get back on the ice in front of the fans in Telford. I think building off the end of last season that the forthcoming season is going to be a promising one and I believe we have a really good shot at coming away with something to show for it!”
Tom Watkins, Head Coach and General Manager, commented on the signing of Price.
“We missed Lucas greatly last season with him missing several months to injury which was a real shame for us and him. He plays with an edge, a lot of grit which I think distracts you from seeing his overall skill level which is very high. He has excellent IQ for a young player, understands the intricacies of the game and technically as I said very gifted. He is a player who can play up and down the line up, provide offence, equally be part of a shut down line with his strong defensive game and anticipate him being an important part of our penalty kill. I’m delighted he has agreed to return.”
