EIHL signing news

Anders Frentzon, an American defenceman was the first to be named. Recommended by two former players Frentzon was added to the Sheffield blueline. He is a stay at home player who last year played for Indy Fuel in the ECHL. He was there for two seasons after being traded from Missouri Mavericks in the Central Hockey League (CHL).

He played as a junior in Sweden and then spent four seasons with the University of Vermont in the U.S. After that he decided to turn pro in 2013. He was at Indy for two seasons after being traded from Missouri Mavericks in the Central Hockey League (CHL).

I’m very pleased with this addition” said coach Paul Thompson “we have improved on our size on the back end whilst maintaining our mobility with Anders signing

“His size and mobility is what attracted us towards him. I watched a lot of video and instantly thought he would be an ideal fit.

“He see’s the ice well, good vision and a good first pass. I like his decision making. He is also a right hand shot, something I wanted to add to the group of six on the blue line”.

The second signing of the day was that of Callum Boyd. He spent the last two seasons with Edinburgh Capitals after stepping up from the Scottish National League (SNL) when he played for Kilmarnock Storm.

Coach Ryan Finnerty said: “We saw a lot of Callum with Edinburgh in the last couple of years and I loved his energy.  Richard Hartmann was always talking positively about him and said he’s very coachable.

“I think he brings that energy and has a robust style, which we need in the fourth line.  He’ll play with some good players as well.

“The kid’s got skill and a lot of it comes from hard work and he was a pain to play against and played to the last second in a tough situation in Edinburgh. We had the opportunity to sign him two years ago before he signed for Edinburgh, however his move to the Capitals has allowed him to gain the valuable ice time and showcase his talent.”
