15 Damien Welch

Damien Welch who previously iced for the Dynamos between 2000 and 2009 having also appeared for the team in their EPL days. Welch makes a return to the line-up looking to add to his 213 previous outings during which he netted 15 goals and claimed 67 assists for 82 points from the blue line. The defenceman has been absent from hockey for a number of seasons will be hoping to hit the ground running having trained throughout the summer in preparation for a return.

“DAMIEN’S COMEBACK MIGHT SURPRISE A FEW PEOPLE BUT HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON HIS GAME THROUGHOUT THE OFF-SEASON AND IS DESPERATE TO WEAR THAT DYNAMOS JERSEY AGAIN. HE WILL HAVE A FEW WEEKS TO GET FULLY UP TO SPEED AND FIND HIS SHARPNESS BUT HE’S IS A DEPENDABLE DEFENCEMAN AND A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS TO HAVE ON THE BLUE LINE. DAMIEN IS ANOTHER WHO HAS A LONG HISTORY AT THE CLUB AND HIS PRESENCE ON THE ROSTER WILL ONLY HELP SUPPORT THE YOUNGER GUYS WE BROUGHT IN THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HIM AGAIN IN 2015/16”.
