I’m really happy to be staying at Oxford for another season. After hearing Jeff’s plans it was an easy decision to stay at my home club, the atmosphere around the club is exceptional and one that I love playing in front of, it’s always exciting. I’m looking forward to seeing all the new and old faces and improving my ability and continuing to develop on and off the ice.

After speaking with Jeff I knew that Oxford was where I wanted to stay. The team accepted and fully supported me last season and I can’t wait for this season to start. Being amongst the familiar faces and the new additions to the team, this season promises exciting times for the wonderful fans we have at Oxford, and for my continued development. I can’t wait to be back on the ice in Oxford very soon”

We would like you to announce our first signing of the season…
The return of your captain… Sam Arnold!
Head Coach Jeff Sykora said:
Sam is an obvious first signing for us. He has been so instrumental in building this team and has led from the front since the beginning. He is someone that I trust with my life and all the players would agree with me. Asking Sam to be the captain for a third year in a row was the easiest decision I’ve had to make in a long while. Sam is more than a captain, he is part of the very foundation of the Rising Stars.
