Thunder complete their import quota

[rocket]

The Thunder have filled their second 'import' slot for next season and are pleased to announce the signing of forward Maxims Petruks, more commonly known as Max, for the new season. Max joins us having played five seasons in Latvia for DHK Latgale where he totalled 91 points in 123 games.

Coach Simon Howard discussed his latest signing; "When we look at imports for our team we have to look at quality, a guy who will fit into the team ethic and a option that is feasible for a team with limited resources, which in Max's case we have all three."

"At only 28 he is in his prime years for hockey and is a naturally strong, fit guy who will be a great two way player either at centre or on the wing. Quality is imperatve for us and seeing that Max averaged nearly a point a game in his native Latvia and has played with MK favourites Mindy Kieras and Lukas Zatopek in Latvia we knew he had something to offer the team and make a big impact."

"Living locally means Max can fit into not only the team but it also means he has already adjusted to Britain which is often the biggest problem for many new imports. We expect Max to settle quickly and look to form a great partnership with our quality British players to provide an exciting strike force for the Thunder."

With Max signing this now leaves a few remaining spots left within our squad which will be rewarded to the guys who want to be part of this team and work hard to earn a place in the starting line up each weekend.
