Next up was confirmation that Stephen Dixon will be back for a second season in Cardiff after an impressive first season with the Devils where he picked up the ‘Players player of the year’ award voted on by his teammates, which is a testament to the respect he has earned in the locker room for his consistency and work ethic both on and off the ice. His style of hockey quickly saw him win over the Red Army, which led to him also taking home the ‘Red Army Travel Player of the Year’ award.
The fourth announcement was the re-signing of Matt Pope who is back for his third season in Cardiff. Since joining the Devils in 2017, Matt has played 149 games and scored 49 goals and added 89 assists for 138 points in total.
