GMB PANTHERS ADD SKILLED CENTREMAN TO ROSTER

Twenty-nine year old Canadian centreman Marty Gascon is joining the GMB Nottingham Panthers for season 2009-10.

 And the player says he can’t wait to get here. Coach Corey Neilson said today : “He’s very impressive to talk to, he’s told me what he plans to achieve for us and his enthusiasm is second to none.”

 Gascon is a proven playmaker. His career stats throughout University and in the minor leagues (where he played alongside Bruce Richardson three years ago) have always been stacked towards the assists column.

Last year he played with Arizona, Tulsa and Mississipi in the Central Hockey League where he had combined totals of 14 goals and 54 assists in 68 games.

 Added coach Neilson : “We’re putting a puzzle together here and it is a completed puzzle that will have a big job to do. Marty is the right man for the job we have in mind.”

The GMB Panthers hook up with the Derby University has helped us conclude this latest signing.
