They looked to be recruiting okay but this has to go down as a poor signing, fine by me though!

Glasgow have added 6”4” Canadian Netminder Ty Taylor.

The 23 year old is an un-signed prospect of the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning having being drafted in the 7th round by them in 2018.

Last season he iced in the Canadian University USports league for Grant MacEwan University Griffins (.890%) and he played his first an only pro game for the ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears (.889%).

Coventry have made an (in my opinion) exciting signing with the addition of 6”0 Swedish forward Kim Tallberg.

The 30 year old scored 17 times in the strong Swedish 2nd Tier Allsvenskan last season.

He’s played 272 Allsvenskan games for IF Troja-Ljungby (where he played his first pro hockey under Paul Thompson & Jerry Andersson), IK Oskarshamn, Tingsryds AIF, HC Vita Hästen & AIK.

He’d previously worked his way up from the 3rd Tier HockeyEttan with 272 games for Kumla HC, Borås HC, Halmstad HF & Nybro Vikings IF.

PS. Coventry are well clear of the rest when it comes to imaginative announcements.
