Invicta Dynamos have agreed new deals with prolific Canadian Justin Noble and defender Anthony Lennon.
Noble scored 58 goals and laid on 38 assists in 47 appearances last term while coach Kevin Parrish is backing Lennon to find his form after an injury-hit year.
Parrish (pictured) rates Noble, 24, as one of the best imports in NIHL South Division 1 and believes he will only get better.
He said: "Justin wasn’t sure what to do toward the end of last season.
"He was maybe looking at playing one year in the UK and then going elsewhere in Europe but he’s finally said he’d like to give it another shot.
"He scores goals, gives us energy and was probably our most consistent player last season."
Defenceman Lennon had a torrid time with shoulder injuries last season but has returned to full fitness over the summer. Parrish likes the player’s attitude and is willing him to get through the season.
He said: "Anthony deserves a bit of luck. He took a hit on his shoulder that put him out for eight weeks early last season.
"He’s been working hard on his fitness and now he has the chance to prove a few people wrong."
