Phantoms Sign Glowa and Ziedins
May 28, 2012
The Dalrod sponsored Peterborough Phantoms Ice Hockey Club have tonight announced that Jeff Glowa and Maris Ziedins have both re-signed with the team for the forthcoming season.
Calgary born Jeff made his senior hockey debut in the 1996/1997 season with the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the British Columbia Hockey League before playing NCHA, WHA and CHL hockey – the latter with the wonderfully named Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs !
The 2004/2005 season saw Jeff debuting in UK hockey with Hull Stingrays where he went on to spend six seasons, racking up over 300 points before joining the Phantoms for a 2010/2011 campaign that added a further 90 points to his career stats.
Maris played four seasons with the NCAA’s St. Norbert College side, two seasons with the UHL’s Rockford Icehogs before touring the East Coast Hockey League with Toledo, Greenville and Stockton. During his ECHL campaigns, Maris took time out to star with the Latvian national side in the 2005 World Championships and played and scored in the 2006 Olympic Games.
After spending the 2006/2007 season with the United Hockey League’s Chicago Hounds, where he was selected for his conference’s All-Star team, Maris decided to hang up his skates but was tempted back out of retirement by Phantoms coach Phil David who gave him his UK debut in December 2007. Since then, the Latvian has helped Phantoms to four major trophies and has proved very popular with the Bretton faithful, racking up nearly 350 points in his time here.
Head Coach Jon Kynaston commented on the signings ‘Maris is a model pro. He remains a sought after player and he has the ability to score past the best minders in the EPL – it’s a boost to have him back.
‘Jeff is having an operation imminently and a fully fit Glowa for 2012-13 will be great for our team.
‘By the high standards these two have set themselves 2011-12 was an average one. I am confident with the environment we will have and the focus we put on we will see Jeff and Maris back amongst the top delivering forwards in the EPL.
‘With that adding to what we already have I am pleased with the teams make up so far. Our budget may not stretch as far as a lot of our opponents but we will be planning and spending as wisely as we can to prepare for what will once again be a very strong and competitive EPL.
‘I am looking forward very much to working with both players and I know they are keen to play their part in our season.’
