www.panthers.co.uk/home/220130-massyThe Nottingham Panthers are delighted to announced the signing of defenceman Kevin Massy for the remainder of the 2021/22 season. Standing at 6'4" Kevin joins the Panthers from Anglet, who play in the French Ligue Magnus, where he led the team in points with 22 (five goals, 17 assists) in 30 games. Kevin watched Sunday's win over the Stars in one of the Motorpoint Arena's executive boxes alongside Director of Hockey Gui Doucet & will take to the ice with his new team mates for the first time at Tuesday's practice. The right shot, who will wear #72, is in line to make his debut for The Nottingham Panthers on Saturday night when the Glasgow Clan visit the Motorpoint Arena.

Top scorer for his French team, although it’s the other end of the rink he’ll need to concentrate on here.
I’m guessing this means Lee not back any time soon.

Glad we’ve finally got another defence-man in! Not had much professional experience, good to see that he was leading his team in points this season.
6’4”, 102kg, right shot, if he’s willing to put him self about, lay some checks and stand up for the team then I’ll be happy.

I'm not to sure i'm pleased to see he was top points scorer. We need a dman that gets a nose bleed if he crosses the opposition blue line, not another Doherty. Hopefully he does use his size and is the dman we've been desperate for. |

Hopefully he does use his size and is the dman we've been desperate for. If he turns out to be another Doherty then Doucet has learnt nothing. I don’t mind him being able to contribute offensively but like you say he has to be capable of laying the body, separating the opposition from the puck. I’m praying he’s the right type of defenceman. |

I guess he's a body which they need but Doucet needs to go asap if his contacts lead him to the best he can get ... Don't they need a d man who is physical and defensive?

Looks like we managed to tempt him away from Anglet. Taken from their site:
KEVIN MASSY TOWARDS A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE
JANUARY 29, 2022 ADMINAHE
Arriving this season from Strasbourg, Canadian defender Kevin Massy has expressed his wish to leave the club to devote himself to a brand new sporting project. Author of an important goal in the last home game against the Nice Eagles, the Canadian has made the choice to leave the Angloy dressing room.
His next destination will be announced soon.
The club wishes him a good continuation for the rest of his career.

Only his first game but for a big guy he looked quite agile and has some speed. Looking forward to seeing how he does today. |

His nationality may have meant that although in the league he is classed as a Brit, he may not of needed a work permit. So making it easier to bring him straight into the lineup.

He's classified by the league as non-homegrown (IE: not a Brit) but I think that's actually what you meant to say and the *not was missing? |

Yes correct not a homegrown player as far as the league is concerned but a Brit when it comes to work permits / immigration status ect.

Not automatically no, as he didn't play juniors in GB for 2 years. I think that's the rule. That's how Scott Conway is classified, certainly. He did play junior over here, so gets in. Massy and Coventry's Halbert (and some others I guess) have a GB passport, but didn't play here as juniors, so are classed as "non-homegrown". |

so he'd be the same as Erhardt, Connelly etc who need to qualify for GB by playing/living over here for a number of years.

He has to play two years in the EIHL to qualify for GB but why would you want to keep adding dual nationals to the GB program ? To what end ?
