KRISJANIS FUGALIS spent his formative hockey years in the UK – now he is back and looking to take his game to the next level with Leeds Knights.
The 21-year-old defenceman is just the second new face to be signed for the 2024-25 NIHL National campaign so far by Knights’ head coach Ryan Aldridge. It’s not clear if there are any more to come before the season starts in early September. Aldridge was always keen to retain the core of the group which won a second league title under him but even with Latvian-born Fugalis, there is a touch of familiarity about the signing.
When Aldridge coached him at hockey camps down in Swindon, Fugalis was a forward but having spoken to contacts and watched tape on the left-hander, he is confident he will prove a welcome addition to the back line. “He’s a similar size to Bow, another six-footer, but probably slightly heavier,” said Aldridge. “He skates well, moves the puck well and is not scared to take the body - I‘m confident he will be a good addition to that D-core.
