Manchester Phoenix captain Luke Boothroyd and defensive partner Ladislav Harabin have re-signed with the EPL champions for another year.
The pair were essential parts to Phoenix’s title winning success last year and player coach Tony Hand has moved quickly to keep them at the club.
Boothroyd is returning for his fourth season with the club and Hand said: “Luke is reliable and dependable every night, and has provided a cool presence both on and off the ice for the 3 years he has been with the team.”
Harabin’s first term with the Phoenix was a successful one even if it was hampered with injuries, the Slovak had a knee injury and a horrific wrist injury putting his career in jeopardy.
But Harabin still managed to produce 33 points from 45 games whilst also earning a spot on the EPL All-star team.
Hand said: “Ladzi was the best defender in the league last year and, despite other teams chasing his signature, he always said he wanted to return to Phoenix.
“It is a great signing for the club and, hopefully, he can avoid those nasty injuries next term.”
The two defenders join new centre Slava Koulikov and returnee Tom Duggan on the roster for next season, however Hand now needs to find two new wingers for his top line.
Forward Curtis Huppe has joined playoff champions Guildford Flames whilst his line-mate from last season Marcus Kristoffersson looks set to join a team in Europe.
