The Manchester Storm are set to bid farewell to a true club legend, as it has today been confirmed that Captain Cam Critchlow will be retiring from professional hockey at the end of this season. After an illustrious career, Critchlow will hang up his skates, leaving behind a legacy that will be cherished by fans, teammates, and the entire Storm community.

Cam Critchlow has been with the Manchester Storm for five seasons, joining the team in 2018. Over these years, he has been the heartbeat of the Storm, offering leadership, skill, and commitment both on and off the ice. As team captain, his work ethic and dedication to the game have been an inspiration to his teammates, and his passion for the sport has endeared him to fans across the region. Throughout his time with Manchester Storm, Critchlow’s contributions have been immeasurable, and his leadership has been instrumental in the team’s successes.

During his time at the Storm, Critchlow has consistently been one of the team’s top performers, with impressive stats that reflect his impact on the ice. Over his five seasons, he has racked up: 203 points, combining goals and assists with an impressive 260 PIMs.

– Goals Scored: 68 goals.

– Assists: Contributed 135 assists.

– Games Played: 296 games in the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL).

These stats highlight Critchlow’s consistency, offensive contributions, and reliability as a leader. Whether it was battling in the trenches, leading by example, or making clutch plays when the team needed him most, he has consistently been a player fans could count on. His on-ice performances will forever be etched in the history of the club, but it is his leadership and character that will leave the most lasting impression.

As the season draws to a close, the Manchester Storm organisation expresses heartfelt gratitude to Captain Cam Critchlow for his years of dedication and service. While we will undoubtedly miss him as the skipper, we have no doubt that this is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for him. Whatever comes next in his journey, Cam’s legacy in Manchester is secure, and the entire Storm family wishes him nothing but success in all future endeavours.

To honour his remarkable career and contributions to the team, the Manchester Storm will hold a special celebration on Friday, 4th April as we host the Guildford Flames. Fans are encouraged to join the club as we come together to celebrate Cam Critchlow’s extraordinary journey and bid him a fond farewell. It promises to be a memorable occasion, and a fitting tribute to one of the finest captains the team has ever had.

Thank you, Cam, for everything you have done for the Manchester Storm. Your efforts will never be forgotten.
