Ryan Horvat joins Nottingham

Nottingham Panthers have announced the signing of Canadian AHL player Ryan Horvat.

Horvat, 26, has played over 200 games in the OHL with the Guelph Storm, and over 280 game in the AHL between the Manchester Monarchs, Ontario Reign, Springfield Thunderbirds and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

“We’ve seen the impact Jake Hansen and Jullian Talbot have had on our team and we’re confident Ryan will add to what we’re building here,” said director of hockey Gui Doucet

“He’s a career AHLer and you don’t stick around at that level if you can’t skate and if you don’t compete every single night.

“This will be his first time playing outside of North America and he’s looking forward to getting to Nottingham and putting on a Panthers’ jersey.”
