GB junior prospect joins our defence

Milique Martelly joins our blue line
The RedHawks are pleased to announce the signing of GB junior international prospect Milique Martelly.
Defenseman Milique has progressed through the junior ranks of the club and was selected by GB u16s for the Riga Cup back in 2019. He has also been invited to the GB U18 selection camp in Sheffield.
Milique captained Streatham u18s in 2019/20 and notched an impressive 17 goals and 17 assists across the campaign.
"As a player making my way through the youth development it was always something that I wanted to do"
said the 17 year old on signing for the RedHawks.
"But watching the team last year lift trophies it made me want a position in the squad for the next season. After getting the call up from Farny (Coach Michael Farn) and long conversations with him, my parents and a few friends I had to say yes.
"I know that the physicality level will be much higher compared to what I have played in junior hockey, there will be players that are more experienced and more skilled but that has never phased me as a player and I’m very excited to play with and against players that will test my abilities.
"My main goal is to bring back more silverware to SW16, and a personal one is just to be recognised as another good athlete that has come out of South London."
Martelly adds to a defensive corps that has lost Rupe Quiney to retirement and Adam Wood to Whitley Warriors. Player Coach Michael Farn is excited to see him progress and said:
"It’s great to have Milique on board for the upcoming season, he’s an exciting young talent who has came through the junior club and has plenty of potential which will help him to make the step up.
"I’ve had a lot of conversations with his parents who are very positive and excited about their son joining our roster. I’ve had several conversations with Milique himself and he’s a smart lad who is keen to learn and progress his game. He will gain a lot of experience both on and off the ice being with us and he’s definitely one to watch."
Milique Martelly's #33 game worn home, away and warm up jerseys are all available through our popular own and loan scheme. You can get your name or message on the back of his jersey(s) throughout the season and then you get to keep it once the season is done. We will wash out any game stains before you get hold of it (unless you prefer otherwise) so it really is a great offer.
To keep it fair, we ask that you email our management stating which of Milique's jerseys you are interested in (home/away/warm up) and if we have multiple bids then we will draw names out of a hat. Jerseys are £100 and you can register interest by emailing: streatham1972@yahoo.co.uk

Don't forget we have pre-season challenge games on the 4th and 5th September booked in the diary. More details here.
