The Devils have completed the 2024-25 roster after announcing the final 4 signings earlier today.

All four players are new to the Devils and the Elite League and bring with them a mix of offensive talent and defensive responsibility.

First up was Reid Duke who joins the Devils after a season in Germany with Starbull Rosenheim where he led his team in goals.  He finished with 25 goals and 21 assists in 42 games.  A high flying offensive player with a great scoring touch, Duke was the first ever player signed by the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

Next up was Jarrod Gourley, a big strong defender who split last season between the Calgary Wranglers in the AHL and the Rapid City Rush in the ECHL.  Gourley attended Calgary Flames development camp last summer before signing with their farm team.  He was an ECHL All-Star in 2022-23 in his first full year of pro hockey.

Hunter Shinkaruk was the third player announced, a former first round NHL draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks.  He played 15 games in the NHL, two seasons in the KHL and last season he was in Iserlohn in the German DEL.  A player with a nose for the net, his best asset is his silky hands and his playmaking ability.  He will be attending Cardiff Met University as well as playing for the Devils.

Our final signing was defenceman Andrew MacWilliam who brings with him a wealth of experience in the top leagues around the world including 12 games in the NHL.  He spent last season with Red Bull Munich in the German DEL.  MacWilliam is a hard-hitting defensive defenceman who is a natural leader.  A former captain at University of North Dakota, he will be joining Shinkaruk and Cody Donaghey on the MBA programme at Cardiff Met this season.
