Nick Pryce Leaves The Bristol Pitbulls
Having taken a season out, Nick has been playing some phenomenal hockey for the Pitbulls in 24/25 – so much so that he has now been offered a playing opportunity higher up the hockey ‘food chain’. All players want to test themselves at the highest possible level that they can – we certainly both shared this ambition in our careers. As such, whilst it’s a body blow and sad news, Nick goes with our congratulations and good wishes. Nick has assured us that he will always ‘bleed blue’ and that thedoor has not been shut on the future.
Nick leaves the Pitbulls having scored a season leading 26 goals & 30 assists in 33 games.
The Pitbulls left a message for the fans: “Playing our first ever playoff game at The Pound in Spring 2025 is still our absolute, 100% focus. There is no feeling sorry for ourselves or lowering out objectives here at Pitbull HQ. We’re simply going to work even harder – both on and off the ice.”
“To that end, we have already identified some potential replacements for Nick, all of whom would absolutely excite our fans. Lots of work is going on in terms of negotiations, contracts and cutting through the necessary red tape. We understand that time is of the essence and we plan on making an announcement very soon.”
“We’re also pleased to say that our ranks are being bolstered on a domestic footing. Highly rated netminder, Harry Thomas, is joining us on a 2-way contract with the Cardiff Canucks. Around the UK Hockey Circuit, 16 Year Old Harry is seen as a star of the future – and we are delighted that the next phase of his development will take place in Bristol. Remember the name! We’re also very pleased to say that, in the short term, we’ll be able to call on the services of Alexander Rushby, Tyler Somerton and Ales Padelek.”
