The Panthers have signed Nottingham-born defenceman Henry Newell on a two-way contract with NIHL side Peterborough Phantoms.
The 20-year-old - who trained with the Panthers at last year's pre-season camp - returns to the UK after a spell in North America and most recently in Sweden.
He began his hockey career in the junior section of Nottingham Ice Hockey Club and spent three seasons at the Canadian International Hockey Academy from 2021 to 2024. In the 2022/23 season, he recorded the most points for a defenceman in the U17s Canadian Sport School Hockey League.
Newell moved to Vernal in the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL) for the 2024/25 season and helped the Oilers win the National Championship. Last season, Newell played for Kalix HC in Sweden's U20s league.
