K-Wall back next season

Top netminder Craig Kowalski has put pen to paper with the GMB Panthers for next season.
The Canadian has agreed terms for next season and said today : “Why would I want to play anywhere else in this country, a top club, great fans, a great city and a great organisation. We’ve won one championship already this season and this weekend we’re gunning for a second, I want to do my best for Nottingham at the finals weekend this week and again next season. I love it here.”
Kowalski, known as Killer or K-wall, has impressive numbers this year. His absence through injury was hard felt by the team around Christmas time.
He’s a proven game winner and has made a long line of highlight reel saves for the GMB Panthers this season.
GMB Panthers coach Corey Neilson said: “He’s good, he’s a momentum changer, a game winner, he’s had a tremendous debut season in our league and that’s something to build on in the future.”
A club spokeswoman added: “We’re pretty sure the other clubs have been or would be sniffing round. It amazes us that Craig isn’t in the running for netminder of the year at the Elite League awards, the other coaches nominate the best players and there’s even a conspiracy theory that they didn’t vote for Killer because they wanted to stir the pot to try to sign him. We don’t believe that theory but we’re confident we’ve got a fans’ favourite, a game winner, and he’s a netminder that the defence can be confident in game in, game out.
“Craig’s tasted success with the Challenge Cup win and he’s hungry for more.”
