🇬🇧 Brad Jenion (D)

Locally-born and Storm-bred, Brad Jenion’s rise last season captured the imagination of the Shelter faithful. In his rookie EIHL campaign, the hard-hitting utility skater quickly became one of the most trusted young players on the roster, seamlessly switching between defence and forward whenever the team needed him most.

Jenion’s fearless style, relentless energy, and willingness to throw big hits made him an instant fan favourite, while his maturity beyond his years earned the confidence of the coaching staff night after night. Every shift brought intensity, passion, and a commitment to the badge that Storm fans instantly connected with.

Still only scratching the surface of his potential, Jenion is rapidly becoming one of the brightest British talents in the league. After recording three goals, two assists, and 64 penalty minutes in 42 league appearances, his breakout season was rewarded with a call-up to Team GB’s World Championship squad, where he now has the chance to announce himself on the international stage.

This is your chance to own the jersey of a hometown player who represents the future of Manchester Storm hockey. Expect demand for Jenion’s Own & Loan to move quickly.

🇺🇸 Drew DeRidder (NM)

Drew DeRidder delivered a season for the ages in 2025/26, producing game-winning performances week after week and playing a huge role in guiding the franchise to its first-ever Play-Off Weekend appearance. Calm under pressure, explosive when called upon, and capable of stealing games single-handedly, DeRidder became the backbone of the Storm from the very first puck drop.

His numbers speak for themselves: a stunning 2.28 goals-against average and elite .938 save percentage across 34 appearances earned him EIHL Netminder of the Year honours, a place in the First All-Star Team, and the league’s Best Save Percentage award.

But DeRidder’s impact stretched far beyond statistics. Named Coach’s Player of the Year, Fans’ Player of the Year, and Fan Favourite at the club awards, he built a special connection with the Storm faithful that made him one of the most loved players in recent memory.

With clubs chasing his signature, securing DeRidder on a multi-year deal is a huge statement of intent from the franchise. Simply put, he is one of the finest goaltenders ever to wear a Manchester Storm jersey, not just in the club’s history, but across the Elite Ice Hockey League.

Owning his game-worn jersey is a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of hockey history.

🇨🇦 Brady Gilmour (F)

Brady Gilmour lit up the Elite League in his debut Storm season, becoming one of the most electric forwards in the competition and a must-watch player every single night. The former NHL draft pick combined elite vision, silky hands, and game-breaking creativity to produce 59 points in 64 games, finishing as one of the team’s most influential offensive weapons.

Whether threading impossible passes through traffic, controlling the pace on the powerplay, or delivering clutch moments in big games, Gilmour constantly gave Storm fans something to rise out of their seats for. His chemistry with teammates and ability to create magic in tight spaces made him a standout performer across the league.

Unsurprisingly, his performances attracted serious interest from major clubs around Europe. But with the excitement building around the AO Arena move and the club’s ambitious recruitment plans, Gilmour chose to continue the journey in Manchester.

Dynamic, entertaining, and already a fan favourite, Gilmour’s Own & Loan package is the perfect opportunity to secure the jersey of one of the EIHL’s premier playmakers before the season even begins.

🇨🇦 Loren Ulett (F)

Since arriving in Manchester in 2023, the hugely popular Canadian power forward has become one of the most respected and recognisable players on the roster, earning the admiration of teammates, coaches, and fans alike through his relentless work ethic and uncompromising style of play.

A player who can change the momentum of a game in an instant, Ulett combines skill, grit, and physicality in a way few players in the league can match. Whether delivering huge hits, battling in the corners, standing up for teammates, or producing big moments offensively, he brings intensity and emotion every single night he steps onto the ice.

Now entering his fifth season with the franchise after signing a new two-year deal, Ulett’s commitment to the Storm speaks volumes about the culture being built in Manchester ahead of the move to the AO Arena. In 147 league appearances, he has recorded 73 points and 192 penalty minutes. Numbers that perfectly reflect the complete package he brings to the team.

But beyond the statistics, Ulett has become a true fan favourite because of the way he plays the game: with pride, passion, and absolute commitment to the badge.

If you’re looking for a jersey that represents toughness, loyalty, and the heartbeat of the Storm locker room, Ulett’s Own & Loan package is one you won’t want to miss.

🇨🇦 Drydn Dow (D)

One of the most accomplished and respected defencemen in Elite League history is bringing his talent to Manchester.

Drydn Dow arrives at the Storm after seven exceptional seasons with the Dundee Stars, where he established himself as one of the EIHL’s premier blue-liners and one of the league’s most dangerous offensive defencemen. With 261 points in 369 league appearances, Dow ranks among the highest-scoring import defencemen in EIHL history.

A three-time All-Star and proven powerplay specialist, Dow has built a reputation around the league for his elite vision, smooth skating, and ability to take control of games from the blue line. Whether firing home from the point or unlocking defences with pinpoint passing, he brings game-changing quality every single night.

Beyond the points, Dow arrives in Manchester with invaluable leadership experience, having served as captain and player-assistant coach during his time in Dundee. His professionalism, composure, and winning mentality make him the type of player every fan loves to have on their side.

This isn’t just another signing, it’s a major addition to the Storm roster and a huge statement of intent ahead of the new era at the AO Arena. Owning Dow’s jersey means owning the jersey of one of the league’s biggest names as he begins an exciting new chapter in Manchester.
