Corey Goodison agrees Telford Tigers return
Telford Tigers have secured the services of highly-rated GB Under- 20 defenceman Corey Goodison for the 2017/18 season.
Goodison returns to Tigers for his third season after moving to the club from Coventry Blaze NIHL in 2015.
The 20-year-old, a league winner with Tigers last season, didn’t need much persuading to sign.
He said: "I’m looking forward to be back playing at Telford for my third season. I can’t wait for the season to start and see what it brings. After last season it wasn’t a hard decision to sign for the club again."
Tigers fans have seen the combative Goodison improve in his time at the club and Tigers coach and general maanger Tom Watkins is pleased to have him back.
"Corey was a great addition to my D core last season, he has worked hard for his opportunity and has improved immensely over the last two years," said Watkins.
"He’s dedicated and works hard off the ice to continually improve his game, it’s one of the things I like about him. He is prepared to take the time and make the commitment to improve.
"Defensively he is solid, reliable in his one on one situations, he battles and competes for net front and corner positioning.
"We worked hard on his transition game last season, which is key to our team offence."
