All Roads Lead to Roman as Cathcart Returns For 26/27.
The Streatham RedHawks are pleased to welcome back Roman Cathcart for the 26/27 season!
The former Basingstoke Bison junior returns to the High Road for his third season. The exciting young player joined Streatham two seasons ago from the Slough Jets. Roman has made quite an impact over his two seasons on the high road racking up 39 points in that time. A player of great potential, which has seen him signed on 2-way deal with the Berkshire Bees and Basingstoke Bison in recent seasons.
Roman is buzzing to be back on the High Road after last season’s success
“Buzzing to be back at the high road again this year. Last year, winning a treble was an unbelievable accomplishment. Looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces down the high road.”
Roman provides the element that coach Paynter likes to have across all the lines, speed and plenty of it. Cathcart is able to drive forward play and beat opposition defenders to the dirty areas along the boards, and into the corners, while also taking the play to the net to make things happen for himself or his teammates. His 2-way game improved last season as he utilised that speed to back check hard on the defensive and proved a reliable element of the PK when called upon. Roman has been able to use that speed to rack up 17 goals and 26 assists for 423 points in 75 appearances for Streatham
Coach Paynter is looking forward to seeing the young forwards continued development this season
“Last season I believe Roman really developed as a player and really grew in confidence as the season went on. He adds so much speed to our line up and last season I think he really utilised that speed by being a pain on the forecheck, relentless all over the ice and moved the puck north efficiently. He can play all forward positions and adapt to situations quickly. His defensive play really improved, and he showed how effective he can be on the penalty kill. I think this season will be a big season for Romes as he builds on his confidence, and I think he will be key to us having success this season.”
