RoKi Hockey has signed a one-year player contract with Canadian defenseman Ryan Nicholson.
Ryan Nicholson, 25, arrives in Rovaniemi from North America. The big (191cm & 91kg) Nicholson has played the last five seasons in the US college series in the NCAA for the RIT Tigers. In five seasons in the NCAA, the defensive colossus has played a total of 161 matches with 5+29=34 power points. In the season that ended, he was also seen in the ECHL in the shirt of the Savannah Ghost Pirates for two matches, in these matches Nicholson recorded one assist point.
Below are Nicholson’s and head coach Sakari Salmela’s thoughts on the contract:
- Thanks to RoK for this opportunity, I’m going to do everything I can to help our team succeed next season. I’ve heard a lot of good things about RoK and I’m excitedly waiting for next season, commented Ryan Nicholson.
- University defender who has played hard games for several years. Good frames and no need to bend over in the trough. A good addition to our bakery, says Sakari Salmela.
