Oliver Knaggs joins the Bees Defence  At 17 years old, Oliver becomes Bees newest and youngest signing this season. Oliver is the younger brother of former Bee, Ed Knaggs, and has previously played in the junior systems of Milton Keynes and our very own Bracknell Bees in the Hummers and Drones teams. Last season saw Oliver make 24 appearances for the MK Thunder and he also was called up to the Great Britain Under 18 World Championship squad where he scored an outstanding solo goal in GB's win over Serbia.  Oliver is on a two-way deal with Chelmsford Chieftains with Bees having first option on his availability and he will wear number 5 for the Bees. 

Sam Cooper - an exciting addition to the Bees Apparently we have Disney's Mighty Ducks to thank for this signing as the film inspired Sam to take up ice hockey. Sam, who is also a former national junior judo champion, began playing in the junior system in Guildford before making his senior debut for the Raiders in 2021/2022. During this season he also played 6 games for the Guildford Flames in the Elite League and represented Team GB in both the under 18's and under 20's squads. in 2022/2023 he travelled over the pond for a spell in the USA with the Long Island Gulls and North Jersey Avalanche.  Cooper is 18 years old and is the sixth defenceman to sign for Bees.  Sam will wear number 12 when he ices for the Mighty Bees!
