RAIDERS WELCOME BACK NETMINDER OWEN RIDER FOR 2025 SEASON

The Raiders are delighted to announce the return of 21-year-old netminder Owen Rider for the upcoming season.

Rider joined the Raiders partway through last season from the Invicta Dynamos and quickly became a vital part of the team. Called into action during a critical stretch plagued by injuries, the young goalie rose to the challenge with confidence beyond his years.

Displaying poise under pressure, Rider posted an impressive .88% save average, stepping up when the team needed him most. His performances between the pipes earned the respect of teammates and fans alike.

Head Coach Jason Buckman commented: “Having Owen back is a real boost for Romford and strengthens our Netminder core. He showed last season that when he is needed to step up, he is more than capable and plays with confidence. I believe he will improve even more this season working alongside Cole Ceci and it fills me as coach with confidence we have a solid partnership of goaltending”

The Raiders look forward to seeing more of Rider this season.

Welcome back, Owen!
