Elliott Dewey Returns for Fourth Season with Romford Raiders

The Romford Raiders are delighted to announce the return of defenceman Elliott Dewey for the 2025/26 season as he begins his fourth campaign in Raiders colours.

Since joining the Raiders in 2021, Dewey has become a cornerstone of the defensive unit, amassing an impressive 192 appearances across all competitions. Remarkably, he has missed just four games in three seasons, underlining his consistency and resilience on the ice.

In that time, Dewey contributed 42 points from the blue line, a testament to his ability to support the offence when needed, while maintaining his defensive reliability. Notably, Elliott has also demonstrated exceptional discipline, averaging just 0.75 penalty minutes per appearance.

Commenting on the return of Dewey is Head Coach Buckman: “Good to have Dewey back in the squad, he brings experience and reliability to our D-Core and a simple no nonsense style of play”

Raiders fans will no doubt be thrilled to see Elliott back in gold and blue, as the team prepares for another exciting season.

MEGAS KANYS RETURNS TO RAIDERS ON TWO-WAY DEAL WITH BUCCANEERS 

The Romford Raiders are pleased to confirm that defenceman Megas Kanys will be returning for the 2025/26 season on a two-way agreement with the Romford Buccaneers.

At just 20 years old, Megas is no stranger to the Gold and Blue. Megas last season was given the opportunity to ice with the Raiders and having risen through the junior ranks and earned his stripes with the Buccaneers in NIHL1. He’s developed into one of Buccs most reliable and composed defencemen.

Kanys’ progression has been built on consistency, his determination to improve, and the use of his size and is now ready to take the next steps with further opportunities at National League level.

Head coach Jason Buckman commented “It’s important to have Meg on a 2 way again, he trained a lot with raiders last year and had a good year with Buccs. 

I will be looking to him to lead from the front again with Buccs and push for more game time with Raiders for his development”

His return on a two-way deal continues to highlight the strength of our pathway between the Buccaneers and Raiders – and the value of investing in local talent and planning for the success of the future.

We’re excited to see Megas continue his development as he splits his time between both squads, and we know he’ll be ready whenever called upon to represent the Raiders.

Welcome back, Megas!

Speaking with him throughout the summer, it became clear he loves playing in Romford – and in the end, it was an easy decision for him. I’m looking forward to working with him when he returns to the UK.”
