The Deeside Dragons NIHL2 team have begun assembling their playing roster for the forthcoming 2025/26 NIHL Laidler Division season.
The first player to
be announced is long term Deeside favourite Chris Jones who was the captain of
the Deeside Ducks team – the forerunners of this year’s “Dragons 2” - last
season - and was their second top points scorer overall with 6 goals and 8
assists in 15 league games.
Talking about his return for the new season, Jones
said:
“I’m really looking forward to another season with
the newly named Dragons. Last season had a tough start, but as the team grew
together, we became a real challenge for our opponents.
“After speaking with the coaches, it’s clear we’re
heading into this season stronger and more prepared, and we’re aiming to
compete right from the first puck drop.”

Spridgeon commented on his re- signing:
“I’m looking forward to next season and progressing as a team. Last season had its ups and downs, and this year we need to be more consistent and take our chances when we get them. I’m sure we’ll have a much stronger season this year, and I’m excited to see where we can finish.”

Coach Gary Shaw said
of Sillery:
“I’m pleased to re-sign Rory for the upcoming season. He came to us looking to develop his game, and over the course of the year, he went from strength to strength — establishing himself as one of our strongest defencemen.”
“With Rory choosing to stay on, I have no doubt he’ll continue to grow as a player. His ability to read the game and his confidence in moving the puck will only get better.”
