MK Lightning netminder Jordan Hedley has agreed another year with the club.

Apart from one season with Swindon Wildcats, Hedley has spent his entire career in the Milton Keynes set-up.

Lightning boss Pete Russell: “I’m delighted to have Jordan back – he’s a young goalie who will only get stronger training every day and at a much higher level.

“He has good size, stays square and has matured so much as a player over the last few months. I’m really looking forward to working with Heds to help him achieve his full potential.”

Hedley added: “I’m proud and excited to be part of the MK Lightning team – next season will be a big opportunity for me and a massive step in my career.

“Coach Russell has big plans for the team this year and that’s something that I absolutely want to be a part of.

“Ever since I started watching ice hockey, I’ve wanted to play in the Elite League. Doing just that for my home town team makes it even more special.”
