“I’m Here to win” says Leavens
“I want to win” says Leavens
Daniel Leavens wants to win his first professional championship and Steelers head coach Aaron Fox hopes he will do that this coming season after confirming his signing this morning, the final import signing ahead of the new season.
“Daniel is a power forward that has put up over a point per game in all 3 leagues he’s played at in Europe” said Fox
“He will be Another versatile player that can play multiple positions and also will play a heavy game if that’s what’s needed. Daniel has been outstanding on the PP and definitely is a guy who is a top 6 player that I expect to run some good numbers”.
Asked why he wanted to join the Steelers, his answer was simple “I want to win, I haven’t won professionally and I want that to change.
“I’ve been a part of some great teams, especially in the last couple of years and we have had really good regular seasons and then crashed out of the first round of the play offs. I want to go better this coming season with the Steelers”
Leavens also credits Daniel Ciampini in assisting the move to the UK “We’ve played together and then I seemed to follow a year after him in Europe playing for the same team in both Norway and Austria. All last year I kept seeing his Instagram thinking that looks a great place to play. We spoke and he confirmed all that I had thought, then when you realise that the majority of the same team are going back you realise that the guys are well treated by the club, coaches and owners and that’s a big thing”
Daniel says he hopes to brings goals and points to the line up “I’m a well-rounded player that can play on the PK or the PP, I think I’m offensively minded, I see the ice really well and like everyone, who doesn’t enjoy scoring goals and making plays”
