Gui Doucet signs as injury cover, plays this weekend
Already missing 5 players on GB duty and with Sam Russell still working on his return it is a further blow that illness has forced Deivids Sarkanis to the sidelines for this weekend. As cover for Deivids we are delighted that Gui Doucet will be one again pulling on an MK jersey this weekend in our two matches.
36 year old Gui is Canadian and spent his career in the Canadian junior leagues, before moving to Europe and playing in the UK, France and Denmark. He last played for MK Lightning in the 2017/18 Elite League season when he made 56 appearances and scored 27 goals and 25 assists. since 2019/20 he has been more focused on the management side of hockey at Nottingham where he left at the end of last season.
Gui last played in Matt Myers testimonial last weekend and we are thrilled that he has been able to offer us some support this weekend.
Tom Hovell signs as netminder cover
Also joining us for the next 2 weekends is 27 year old netminder Tom Hovell who has signed temporarily from Sheffield Scimitars as cover for Daniel Crowe who is away on international duty. Tom brings a number of years experience with Nottingham, Telford and Sheffield and will give us some continuity while Daniel is away.
Tom will return to Sheffield once Daniel Crowe returns.
We’d like to thanks both Gui and Tom for their support and look forward to seeing them on
