Canucks welcome Ragan and Dowling as three forwards re-sign

Aaran Ragan and Luke Dowling join the Canucks, with Joe Tearall, Sam Davies and Henry Stanley returning for 2026/27.

The Cardiff Canucks are pleased to announce two new additions to the lineup alongside the return of three familiar faces. Aaran Ragan and Luke Dowling join the club, while Joe Tearall, Sam Davies and Henry Stanley have all re-signed.

Joe Tearall

Joe Tearall returns after an impressive first season with the Canucks, finishing among the team's leading point scorers with nine goals and 13 assists in the NIHL2 regular season. His overtime winner in the 4–3 home victory over Milton Keynes was one of the standout moments of his campaign.

Sam Davies

Skilful forward Sam Davies has also re-signed. A scorer and creator in the Canucks' attack, Davies was among the goalscorers in last season's overtime win away at Milton Keynes and helped set up Tearall's decisive goal in the home derby victory over Bristol Pitbulls 2.

Aaran Ragan

The Canucks welcome forward Aaran Ragan as a new signing for 2026/27. Ragan adds senior hockey experience and further depth to the club's attacking lineup.

Henry Stanley

Henry Stanley returns as another of the Canucks' young forwards. He made his mark last season with both Cardiff goals away at Invicta and continues his development with the club.

Luke Dowling

Luke Dowling joins the Canucks for his first season of senior hockey after impressing over the summer. His signing was announced on 2 September.

Welcome to Aaran and Luke, and welcome back to Joe, Sam and Henry!
