Adam Harding returns to the Basingstoke Bison!

A familiar face to Bison fans, Harding returns to Basingstoke having previously iced for the Herd between 2018 and 2022, wearing the ‘A’ for much of his tenure. On his return, Harding said “I’m really happy that hockey in Basingstoke is back, the town and fans deserve this and I’m excited to be apart of the return.”

The 32-year-old Welshman brings a wealth of experience with over 550 senior games across the Elite League and National League, including spells with Cardiff Devils, Manchester Storm, Dundee Stars, Swindon Wildcats, and most recently, the Telford Tigers where last season, Harding tallied 26 points in 52 regular season games.

Managing Director Steve Nell welcomed the signing, stating: “Adam’s a proven performer and he’s someone who will add a lot of experience to our roster. Having him back in Basingstoke gives us a real boost both on and off the ice.”

Harding’s journey through the British game has seen him represent Great Britain at U18 and U20 levels, and he has consistently been a dependable contributor at every stop. His experience and skill set will be key assets as the Bison continue their preparations for the new season.
