Nottingham Panthers have signed defenceman Quinn Wichers for the 2024-25 season.

Wichers, who celebrates his 27th birthday today, arrives in Nottingham from ECHL side Utah Grizzlies where he scored 16 points (2+14) last season on the same team as fellow new Panther Adam Berg.

After four years in the NCAA with Mercyhurst University, Wichers turned pro in 2021-22 when he signed a contract with Rapid City Rush.

The 6'4" blueliner has since had extensive experience in North America and has played 26 times in the American Hockey League, with call-ups to Tucson Roadrunners and San Diego Gulls.

Panthers Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Quinn is a great piece to finish off the roster.

"He’s got great size and strength, moves well for his size and is very good defensively both five-on-five and on the PK.

"He’s tough to play against and plays a gritty style of game. As quite a few of our guys, we are getting him at a great age and time in his career."

Wichers said: "I am super excited to be joining the Nottingham Panthers. It's going to be a great experience.

"I am excited to join what I am told is going to be an unbelievable hockey team and one that wants to make some noise in this league.

"The management and coaches have really done a great job with the roster. It's exciting seeing the quality of talent that we have and we can hopefully push for a championship."
