New Signing: Brendan Baird

 

Welcome back Brendan Baird!

Returning to the Bees after three years away with the Bison, Brendan was the highest scoring defender and 7th overall points scorer for Bison in 22/23 with 5 goals and 18 assists in the regular season. We know Brendan very well from his time with the Bees and he will bring a lot to the team with his skill and passion and, as long as he keeps his penalty taking in check, he should make a great addition to the Bees defence. He's a player you would rather have on your team than be playing against and will no doubt be an asset to the roster. His signing brings the number of Bees defenders currently signed up to 4, we are yet to see if Dom will bring in an import defender with the extra non-British player spot available to the teams next season but I suspect this is something he is seriously working on.

Weekend Teaser: A weekend playing with the Cats and Dogs

   What does weekend twenty one have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty review  The Bees had a rare Friday night fixture with the Bristol Pitbulls who are their nearest rivals in the league table. The Pitbulls travelled without one of their imports and it looked like the Bees were in control at the end of the first as they led 2-0 thanks to an even-handed goal scored by Will Stead and a PPG scored by Josh Smith. The Pitbulls came out fighting in the second and by 25.10 they had brought the scores level with goals from Butler and Harewood. Josh Martin then scored for the Bees on the powerplay but in the last minute of the period Hill scored to bring the score level at 3-3 going into the break. Just over two minutes into the third Dominik Gabaj scored Bees fourth goal of the night, again on the powerplay and the Bees held on to the slender lead for twelve minutes until Cochrane scored the equaliser for the Pitbulls. There were no further goals in the third or in t...

   What does weekend twenty two have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty one review  The Bees travelled to Swindon on Saturday to take on the Wildcats who are a serious contender in the league title race. The Bees have a knack of raising their game against the top teams and this is exactly what they did. The Wildcats took the lead early in the first with a goal scored by Aaron Nell but Bees' Ralf Circenis brought the scores level before the end of the period with a powerplay goal. With no goals in the second period there was all to play for in the third. Bees took the lead for the first time thanks to a powerplay goal scored by Will Stead timed at exactly 43 minutes and just over 7 minutes later the Wildcats equalised, Ryan Wells the scorer. The goal announcement hadn't even finished as just 20 seconds later Dominik Gabaj gave the Bees the lead again. The Wildcats then gave all they had and a goal scored by Malasinski in the 57th minute drew the scores level agai...

   What does weekend twenty have in store for the Bees? Season weekend nineteen review  It just wasn't the Bees weekend. Having seen off the Knights and Lightning over the previous two weekends it seemed the team had turned a corner on the bad luck they had suffered with a depleted roster due to injuries. It also looked like Vanya Antonov leaving to ply his trade at Swindon would not have a significant impact on the team but the team was to suffer defeats home and away with a 4-1 loss in both fixtures. The Telford Tigers travelled to Slough on Saturday and their imports were to dominate scoring all four of their goals. Bees goal was scored by Josh Martin, his first goal since he returned to the Bees last month. On Sunday the Bees travelled to Leeds to take on the Knights who are now in a title race battle with the Lightning and the Wildcats. The Bees took the lead in the first period with a goal scored by Dominik Gabaj but the Knights were to equalise before the end of th...
