BRACKNELL,U.K- Despite entering his rookie season as Head-coach, Bracknell Bees Adam Bicknell has had no trouble attracting players to the Berkshire club. Sticking with his statement made earlier in the summer of a tougher more grittier side Bicknell announced the signing of former Romford Raider agitator Andruis Kaminskas. The Lithuanian International makes the trip to the Hive after four seasons at Rom Valley Way. The gritty two way player has amassed an astonishing statistic sheet although not to everyones liking. Kaminskas 27, recorded 956 penalty minutes in just 156 games for the Raiders showing his no nonsense style. However the statistic’s dont show the work the Lithuanian International does on and off the puck which helped him to a 141 points tally.

In the mould of Colrado Avalanche agitator Darcy Tucker the often scrutinized Kaminskas brings an edge to the team that fans absorb wherever he plays. The fan favourite will look to bring his style of play to a team that is always challenging for honours and with the roster Bicknell is putting together 2008-09 could be the season Kaminskas get his hands on some silverware. Bicknell also announced the signing of youngster Jamie Line who returns for his fourth season. Standing at just 5’5″ 18 year old Line returns to the Berkshire side where he will be looking to play a bigger part under the wachful eye of Bicknell. “Jamie is a fully committed and focused player who works hard both on and off the ice, he is an excellent role model for any younger players trying to break through into the senior leagues,” Bicknell said
