His leadership, passion, and drive were missed at the end of the season so he couldn’t leave it there. We can’t wait to see him back where he belongs, leading from the front

Cliff commented “One of the first things I did when I joined this club was try and sign Lacky, and it’s been the same thing the subsequent 2 years. 

Lacky is a player who never does anything that isn’t for the team, he is a true leader in every sense of the word and embodies what we want our team to be on every single shift.

Missing Lacky at the end of last season was a bitter pill to swallow, and whilst it is not an excuse, I’m sure things would have gone slightly differently had he been able to play at the business end of the season, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise as he may have decided to call it a day at the end of the year, but what happened, happened and I couldn’t be happier to have him leading the boys on the ice again come September.”

When asked about his return Lacky commented “The truth is… at the end of last season, I was ready to call it a day—hang up the skates and close that chapter of my life. I said it all year long: I was done. The way I play, the intensity I bring—it doesn’t come cheap. It takes a huge toll on the body, and it affects life at home too, it’s a painful job.

The way last season ended was incredibly painful. Standing on the sidelines in a sling, watching the boys go out and battle in the most important games of the year, knowing I couldn’t do anything to help—it broke me.

I’ve still got a long way to go in my recovery from surgery, but make no mistake—I’m coming back. And I’m coming back at the best form of my career. I’ve got one goal this season: to win, and to lift.

This will be the longest time I have served in one session at any team across my whole career, and that is because the club is a great place to play not just because the team, coaches and owners are great but you the fans are too. 

A huge thanks to Cliff and Ben for their support and belief in me. To the fans, enjoy your summer. I’ll see you soon.”
