24 Year-old Great Britain national team veteran Joshua Waller is returning closer to home for his 2^nd tour with the Flames.  The native of Reading, and former Guildford Jr. member, spent the previous 3 terms at Cardiff Devils, including last season’s injury shortened stretch where he iced 44 times, registering 14 goals and 10 assists across League, Cup and Continental Cup action. 
 

The 5’10”, 175lb skater, iced a pair of Elite league seasons with Flames from 2018-2020 before departing for Sheffield Steelers where he participated in the 2020-2021 Elite series during the pandemic shutdown.  In 282 EIHL League and Cup games, Waller has 50 goals and 102 points. 
 

In country colours, between Under 18 and 20, Waller earned 15 caps over 3 tournaments and has since iced 19 times for GB in senior competition including the 2022 and 2023 World championships with injury recovery preventing his participation at the 2024 event. 
 

“Joshua is unquestionably one of the top young British talents in the game today, and it is very exciting to have him return.”
 

“He is a very skilled player as one of the fastest skaters in the league with an excellent shot.  He was disappointed obviously to have had his year cut significantly short with the injury he sustained, but he had an excellent run with Cardiff, and we know that he is still in a development phase of his career and is only going to get better.”
 

“On top of the excitement around his ability, it is always good news to return a former jr and senior Guildford player back to a place he called home for earlier parts of his career.”
