Last Sunday evening saw the Basingstoke Bison reveal their new shirt designs for their first ever season in the English Premier League. The jersey's were unveiled to a good sized crowd of Herd fans in the Q's Bar at the Basingstoke Arena, by Bison Head Coach Steve Moria and Assistant Coach Tony Redmond.

The Bison boss then announced that Nicky Chinn would be the Bison's captain for Basingstoke's first ever assault on the EPL crown.
He is a forward with vast amounts of experience in the game and also wore the C last season with the Slough Jets.

Talking about the appointment Moria said: "Chinny is a great leader both on and off the ice and I sure it will be a great captain for this club."
The two Bison players who will be the alternate captains for the coming campaign, are a couple of younger members of the roster, in defenceman Sam Oakford, who signed from local rivals Bracknell and forward Tom Long, a summer capture from the Wightlink Raiders.

Moria said: "Tom is a great guy in the dressing room, while Sam is one of those players whose leadership comes from the way he plays the game."
Also joining the Bison is new bench coach in Craig Moran, a man who is no stranger to the role having done the job for Moria during his time in Slough.
Moria said: "With Tony and myself playing it is important to have another pair of eyes on the bench to see what is going one. He has a huge amount of experience and will be another good addition to this club."

This weekend, the Bison's two remaining imports Mindy Kieras and Ondrej Lauko fly into the country and the rest of the British players arrive in town ready to gear up for their opening game against Bracknell on Saturday September 12 which has a 6.30pm face-off.
