It's still a no from me. Whilst I've no idea if he wants a return to the EIHL, if he does, would be interesting if any other EIHL team signs him.
I honestly prefer the forwards we have signed, I enjoyed DeLuca while he was with us though..

Deluca in the Star today: https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/ice-hoc ... ld-3798556
He said he had been quizzed by the coach and owners of Steelers at the time about whether "it was only THC (the psychoactive compound found in cannabis.) I knew there was nothing else in my system. I admitted openly to my wrongdoings but I wouldn't take a bad name for something I did not do. He described how the club studied the disciplinary findings which confirmed there was nothing else in his system.
I didn't do it to enhance my performance. I didn't do it to cheat..or disappoint anybody. I did it to relax. There are medical benefits to it..that helped myself in certain situations.
It hurts not getting an offer from them (Sheffield) but you move on and it is what it is.
I love the fans there and I would love to come back for those fans, it was an unbelievable experience. Just living in Sheffield was really cool - I am definitely not closing the door to Sheffield.

But this year I think it has been pretty clear on their end that they don't want to sign me.
