Connor Continues with the Devils!
The Solent Devils continue to take steps to build their squad for the upcoming 2024-25 season by re-signing depth scorer Connor Hutchison!
The 24 year old will be joining the team for his 4th straight season with the club off the back of a 2nd place finish with the team at the Playoff Finals.
Hutchison’s 2023-24 saw him play 28 games and collect 7 points with him also appearing in all 4 playoff games for the team.
Speaking on his return to Solent, Connor said the following,
It feels good to be returning to Solent, it’s a place I call home and I’m excited to be going into another year with the team and some new faces.
When asked why he chose to return to the Devils, Hutchison told us,
My reasons for returning is because I love playing hockey down in Solent, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be, the past 2 years have been close but hopefully this year we can bring home the silverware!
Connor concluded by discussing what he plans to bring to the team in the upcoming season,
Going into my 5th season at the club I feel like I’m more of a senior player and hopefully can help the young guys and keep doing what I’m doing.
Head Coach Alex Murray spoke about Connor’s return by saying,
I’m really pleased with the re-signing of Hutchy who has developed into an important member of our core.
Having a team first guy who developed and adapted his role last year, shows the kind of person he is.
Reflecting on the past season, Murray added,
I was really impressed with how Connor played down the stretch last year in particular at the playoff final weekend and I will be looking for him to build on that for this coming season.
Connor Hutchison will continue to wear #6 for the club and his jersey will be owned and loaned by SKIM FRESH PLASTERING LTD for the 2024-25 season.
The Solent Devils are looking for Own and Loan Sponsors for the up coming season as well as Team Sponsors. If you are interested in being involved and supporting the team then please get in touch now by emailing Kerry on devilssupporters@outlook.com
