Invicta Dynamos coach Kevin Parrish is closing in on signing a second netminder.
Parrish (pictured) looked to have his two goalkeeping slots filled for the 2011/12 season but the sudden departure of Andrew Dickinson left him chasing a new rival to Andy Moffat.
The potential newcomer could be in the country next week.
He said: "I’m in talks with a goalie and waiting to tie the deal up.
"He is in Canada and when he comes over we’ll have a proper chat. It could be sorted by next weekend."
Michael Timms became the 10th forward to commit to the Silver Blades Ice Rink, after visa problems meant he was unable to move to America as planned.
With a six to seven month delay, he has agreed to see out the whole of next season.
Parrish said: "He scored some important goals for us last season. He must be the smallest player in the league but he wears his heart on his sleeve."
Timms was a key player during his debut season for the Mos, making 39 appearances, with 17 goals and 21 assists.
With 15 players now in place, including five blue liners, it leaves Parrish looking for just a handful of players to fill his roster.
The season opens on September 3 and the Mos start with a double header against Bracknell Hornets. The home game is on Sunday, September 4.
