NEWS: Cownie hails Clan progress

Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan forward Jordan Cownie reckons the club has come a long way in a short space of time.

Cownie, who had a brief spell with the Clan in 2015, is back after joining from Guildford Flames, with whom he played in the play-off finals weekend at the end of last season.

But as he gets ready for the new campaign, which begins next month, he believes it’s a great time to be a fan of the club.

“The closer it’s getting, I’m super excited to get going,” he said. “The last few weeks, with the team being completed, you start to look at the line-up and see the club are staying active online, so it keeps you in the loop.

“When you see the team that Malcolm has put together, it’s exciting times ahead and I’m at the point where I can’t wait to come to Glasgow and get started.

“Seeing what the fans are saying online adds to the build up too and I think it’s a great time to be a Glasgow fan right now.

“As everyone knows, I was at the club for a spell a while ago now and the distance it has come between then and now is quite incredible.

“The players we’ve signed look very good and of a higher calibre and with a few weeks to go, we’ve all been preparing hard.

“I’m sure we’re all expecting big things this season and I certainly think that heading into the new season.

“I’ve been training pretty hard for the last two or three months and I’m at the stage we’re ready to go, get back on the ice and play some games.  I can’t wait.”
