FORWARD BRYAN LEMOS SIGNS PANTHERS DEAL
Forward Bryan Lemos has joined the Nottingham Panthers for the 2025-26 season.
The 28-year-old, who was born in the USA, has played over 400 games in the ECHL and had a short stint with Guildford Flames in the 2023-24 season.
Lemos had four years at Providence College in the NCAA before signing his first professional contract with ECHL side Kansas City Mavericks in 2019.
He spent two-and-a-half years in Kansas before moving to Indy Fuel in February 2022 in a trade which saw Mike Lee, who played for Belfast Giants last season, go in the opposite direction.
At the end of Indy's season, Lemos received a call-up to his hometown club, Providence Bruins, the AHL affiliate of NHL side Boston Bruins.
His time with Indy saw him play on the roster as current Panther Cooper Zech, and last season, Lemos led the team in assists (48) and points (57).
Lemos told Panthers TV: "After speaking with Omar (Pacha) and (Danny) Stewart, they seem like high-class people. On top of that, I already know a bunch of people that have played for the team.
"I talked with Cooper (Zech) the other day, and I can't wait to play with him again. I've heard great things from Timmy Doherty, Mitch (Fossier), a bunch of the guys.
"I've seen videos of Nottingham and it looks amazing. The atmosphere is great, the rink is great. It's definitely a place a hockey player wants to play."
Panthers Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Bryan is a big signing for us. A right-handed centre that has great vision, playmaking ability and competes hard every night.
"He’s another guy that can play in all situations and do it well. He makes our special teams better. He makes us deeper up the middle, and he gives us an elite right-handed face-off guy on top."
