We are truly saddened to announce the retirement of defenceman Joe Llewellyn, who is hanging up the skates after two seasons with the Fire.

Since joining us, Joe has appeared in 49 games putting his body on the line every single shift. While we are sad to see him leave the ice, we couldn't be more excited for his next chapter!

Joe is heading to South Africa to attend the Balderstone Sports Institute where he will be pursuing a career in professional golf. Thank you Joe, wishing you the best of luck on the fairways #FireFamily

Coach Shep said: "I’m very sorry to see Joe is retiring from hockey. It wasn’t quite the send off he deserved, but I thank him for his contributions.

Joe was a presence on the blue line. You could see opposition actively avoided him. He is going to be a hard spot to fill next season. 

I’m honored to have shared the ice with him. Cheers to a great teammate and wish him the best in his new sporting profession.”

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the retirement of club stalwart Tom Stevens.

After 7 seasons, Tom hangs up his skates with 123 total appearances (96 for the 1st team and 27 for Fire 2), ranking him 6th overall in all-time club games.

Thank you Tom, for your unwavering loyalty and dedication to the badge, as a player, alternate captain and mentor. You’ll always be part of the #FireFamily

It is with a truly heavy heart that we announce the retirement of a Cardiff Fire legend, Chris "the doctor" Fox.

After 7 incredible seasons and 149 games, ranking him 4th all-time in appearances for the club, Foxy is officially hanging up the skates. From his tireless work as a forward to his vital roles as an Alternate Captain and Player-Assistant Coach, Chris has been the backbone of the team through every high and low.

Everyone at the Fire would like to wish Chris all the best for what the future brings #FireFamily

Fire's playoff journey comes to an end with a defe Fire's playoff journey comes to an end with a defeat to the Jets in the 2nd leg of the Playoff Quarter-Final.

Final score: Fire 2:15 Jets

Fire's goals on the night:
🚨 34 Hind-Pitcher 🍎 95 Thurston, 10 Stone @ 20:38
🚨 95 Thurston 🍎 34 Hind-Pitcher, 10 Stone @ 37:48

It was a tough night at the Vindico, up against a clinical side hot off clinching back-to-back league titles. Despite the team's valiant efforts on the ice, including 2 equal-strength goals in the 2nd period, the Jets advance to the next round 2:26 on aggregate.

Congratulations to the Jets and we wish the team the best of luck in the semi-finals against Invicta Dynamos.
