NEWS: Peacock excited for one last shot at Clan glory

Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan forward Craig Peacock says he’s “honoured” to be returning this Wednesday and is willing to do whatever is needed to help the team in their Challenge Cup quest.

The 35-year-old has been drafted in to provide cover for Robert Lachowicz, who is away on international duty with Great Britain.

And Peacock, signed on a two-way deal from NIHL National League side Solway Sharks, is happy to provide any support necessary to the team, as Clan aim for their first final in their history.

”It’s obviously very exciting to get the chance to pull on a Clan jersey once again, and in such a big game for the club where they could reach their first major final,” he said.

“Everyone will be raring to go in Guildford, and I’m just glad that I can come in and play a part.  To even be asked is an honour to help out, and if I can come in, eat up a couple of minutes, and maybe get a shift or two a period to give the guys some rest, then that’s what I’m there for.

“I’ll do whatever the coaches want me to do on the night, to try and get this club to that final.

“It’s a thrill to be part of a semi-final and the chance to represent the Clan again, but I’m there to support the guys and I’m looking forward to it.”

Peacock announced his retirement at the end of last season, but joined Sharks initially as general manager until he was tempted to get the skates on again.

He finished his Elite League career on 499 points, but revealed he hasn’t given a second thought to getting to 500.

He added: “I know I’m still a point away from 500 in my Elite League career, but to be honest, it’s not something I’ve given any thought to.

“Besides, it’s not about me. It’s all about helping the Clan reach the Challenge Cup Final. If I get that one point, great, but I’m more focussed on helping the coaches and guys do what they need to do and playing my part in whatever way I’m required to.”
