The signing of Brady Norrish completed the Nottingham Panthers defensive line-up for 2021/22.

A former ECHL All-Star in 2019/20, Norrish sat out last season during the pandemic but comes to the Panthers having spent two seasons in the ECHL, totalling over 100 games and notching 54 points. The 28-year-old spent four years at the Rochester Institue of Technology in the NCAA, and also played 13 games in the AHL after during professional.

Norrish joins Mark Matheson, Taylor Doherty, JC Brassard and British internationals Steve Lee and Josh Tetlow as on the Panthers' blue line for the upcoming season.

"I'm very excited to have Brady on board, he's someone that we were keen to attract to Nottingham," said Director of Hockey Gui Doucet. "He's a very good defenseman. We're getting a very mobile guy, someone who likes to carry the puck makes plays and joins the rush. I think he'll fit well into our system and group."
