Flames have added Great Britain international forward Sean Norris for the coming season.  The 5’10”, 175lb skater spent last term with Belfast Giants, recording 4 goals and 15 points in 64 games across League, Cup and Champions League play. He made his EIHL debut the year prior when he played 15 Giants games, yielding 4 goals and 2 assists. That same season, the bulk of which he skated in Milton Keynes Lightning colours, the native of Ascot was an NIHL star with 113 points from 38 goals and 75 helpers in 66 starts.
 

The 24 year old came up with the Bracknell Jr. programme before spending his final development years at U18 and 20 in Czechia with Pisek and Dukla Jihava. Having already played a few NIHL and EPIHL games during his Jr. run, Norris began his senior career in earnest during the 2018-2019 set with Slough Jets and Milton Keynes Thunder.  He added on stints at Basingstoke Bison in 19-20 and 20-21 before his first full season at Lightning where he had 31 goals and 27 assists in 43 league starts.
 

Internationally, he made his debut this past season with 3 assists in 3 Olympic Games Qualifiers and then iced 5 times at the World championships.
 

“Sean is a terrific young player and is a great addition to our projected forward line up,” said Paul Dixon.
 

“His selection to the recent national team’s appearance at the Elite pool world championships is a clear indication of the level at which he is capable of playing.”
 

“He is a good skater and has good offensive instincts that are going to show more and more as he progresses in this league.  As a locally born and trained player, this is a coming home of sorts for him and we are truly looking forward to welcoming him back to the area when the new season gets underway.”
