Cardiff Fire are delighted to announce 3 young players back for the 2021-22 season. Defenceman Iwan Davies returns alongside forward Carter Lloyd and goalie Ben Scanlan.
Iwan Davies returns following a break out season for Fire pre-pandemic. Iwan raked up and impressive 9 goals and 12 assists to finish the season 3rd in scoring.
Carter Lloyd re-joins Fire, but will split his time on a two-way contract with Bristol Pitbulls. Carter finished 6th in scoring for the Fire last term with 6 goals and 10 assists.
Promising goalie Ben Scanlan played his first full senior season in 2019-20 after stepping up from the under 18’s team in Cardiff. Ben played for both Fire teams last season playing in an impressive 43 games, 33 in D1 and 10 games in D2.
Director of Hockey and Head Coach Mark Cuddihy continued:
I am delighted all 3 players are back with us for another season. Carter will split his time, but will play 50% of the games for us and will be eligible for play-offs and cup competitions. In Ben we have a young ambitious goalkeeper that always works hard, he had confidence in his first season and grew as the season progressed. Iwan Davies had a fantastic season last time out for us, his shot is up there with the best in the league and he scored key goals for us from the point, his attitude is first class and he gives nothing less than 100% in games. Last season Iwan really developed his game and that has shown in his stats, he played some big minutes for us, including power play and on the kill. He will continue to grow and develop with us and will be a key player for us in 2021-22.
Welcome back Carter, Iwan and Ben! #FireItUp
