Invicta Dynamos coach Kevin Parrish believes new signing Robbie Brown has the mental attitude that could prove invaluable next season.

Brown played for ENIHL South winners Wightlink Raiders last season where he finished as second highest scorer and ninth in the list of the entire division.

With 36 goals and 31 assists for the Raiders, he arrives at the Silverblades Ice Rink with a decent reputation, but Parrish is just as keen on the player’s steely approach to the game.

Parrish (pictured) said: "There have been rumours that it is all about money but that isn’t the case, he wants a new challenge and if he is up for the challenge then I am up for taking him.

"He is a good, skilful player and I watched him in the play-off final where he was getting some big hits and taking a lot of flak because he was one of their best players. He just took it.

"The opposition were chopping him and playing some dirty stuff and he could have quite easily lost his rag. We had a couple of superstars last season who thought they were bullet-proof and they reacted. Reaction costs us a 10-minute penalty and that does us no favours at all. Robbie’s attitude is what I want to bring to this club."

Brown is the sixth player that Parrish has added to next season’s roster, joining Anthony Lennon, Jack Tarczycki, Richard Bentham, Corey Watkins and Andy Smith. More are in the pipeline.

"In the next couple of weeks we should have some more guys coming in and I hope to have another signed by Friday," added Parrish.
