Nottingham signs Ling

02 Oct 2015Robert Newbolt»

Nottingham Panthers’ star forward from the Grand Slam winners of 2012-13 David Ling has signed for the rest of the current EIHL season, for Nottingham, and hopes to be back in the line-up in about a fortnight.

During that last season he scored 35 goals and totalled 95 points in the league.

Last season the former NHLer was called up for a weekend in the AHL at the age of forty showing he still has the skills to play at the highest level. He had 41 points in 46 games in the East Coast Hockey League last year.

He is a fans’ favourite before he gets back to Nottingham after his exploits helped the team lift the Grand Slam of the three main titles in 2012-13.

During that campaign the veteran of nearly a hundred NHL games and 536 AHL games was named Elite League Player of the Year, League Forward of the Year, Elite League Highest Points Scorer (35 and 60 for 95 points in 57 games), Elite League First All Star team member and winner, of course of the Challenge Cup, the Play-offs and the League title.
