    Incoming! Devils sign new centre.

    Well, Steve Thornton is still a Bison for now. The Devils say they're still hunting for a forward, despite signing one this morning who, according to the South Wales Echo, will be making his debut on the weekend of the 27th-28th October. Mike Prpich is 25, and has played one professional season so far with the New Mexico Scorpions of the Central Hockey League (before you think that that's a bit lowly, remember that Adam Calder came from that league, Blaze fans). The 6', 180lb winger didn't do too badly, either, scoring 23 goals and 22 assists for an average of nearly a point a game, before scoring 14 goals in 16 games in the Scorpion's playoff run. However, it appears that the Devils are not yet finished, with the article ending...
    The Devils continue to actively pursue other suitable options to help improve their offensive firepower. However, rushing in to sign just any player is not an option, says Adams. “If it takes an extra week or two to find the right guy then that’s what it takes.”
    Sounds like Prpich may not be the last new face in the "big blue tent"...
