Hotham agrees fourth year with Cardiff

Andrew Hotham has signed for a fourth season with Cardiff Devils.

Hotham scored 17 goals with 56 assists in 67 games last term, making him the only defenseman to break into the top 10 scoring charts.

Last year was the third season in a row that Hotham was selected as the EIHL’s top ‘D’ man and the first time he won the league’s coveted Player of the Year award voted on by the coaches and general managers around the league.

Player/Coach Andrew Lord said: “He is one of the most skilled players I’ve worked with or played with in all my years of pro hockey.

“‘Hoth’ brings so much to this team and completes a defensive unit that are all mobile, move the puck well and can jump into the play.”
