Canadian stopper Mike Garnett looks to have all the tools to make a BIG impression in the Elite League. The Saskatoon native played 24 matches ( 10 wins ) for the Atlanta Thrashers in 2005/06 as their second choice ‘keeper behind Kari Lehtonen who started 38 games. Garnett was impressing Head Coach Bob Hartley who went on record that campaign ;- ” Michael Garnett is definitely giving us a chance to win”. Unfortunately for both men, Hartley was gassed 6 games into the following season which kind of halted Garnett’s progress. He has since played in excess of 400 games in the Russian League and Kontinental Hockey League with various sides recording in excess of 150 victories. The type of big, aggressive ‘keeper who loves to challenge the shooter and, if he has the right motivation, could be a real stand-out in Nottingham in 2017/2018.
