EIHL tug of war for D'Amour
Date: 9th January 2009Author: Terry German Email: terry.german@britishicehockey.co.ukResult: N/ALocation: N/AFormer Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick Dominic D'Amour could be on his way to the Cassidy Coventry Blaze. D'Amour has recieved offers from Coventry and the Excel Hull Stingrays, however following the Rays capture of Finn Antti Turunen it looks likely that he'll now sign with the Skydome based club.
The Blaze are in the market for a defensive defenceman following Paul Thompson's decision to release Corey LeClair and Jon Coleman's decision to return to mainland Europe.
D'Amour is also believed to have an offer from an International Hockey League club in North America, but BIH understand that his preferred choice at the present time is to return to Europe having spent the 2007-08 season with Fassa in the Italian Serie A.
Having won the bmibaby Elite League title in 2006-07 and 2007-08, the Blaze now find themselves some ten points behind current leaders, the Eurologix Sheffield Steelers. Blaze head coach Thompson hasn't been happy with recent results and is looking to bring in new bodies to kick start Coventry's title challenge.
