Interview with newly-appointed Sheffield Steeldogs' player-coach Jason Hewitt

Transcript

00:00 Yeah, I'm excited. It's been a little difficult because things have been on hold for a little

00:10 while here and we can have three imports, we've got two at the moment so maybe that's

00:15 somewhere we can look once everything's figured out. But if we go on the ice tomorrow I'm

00:19 happy with where we are. We'll have to be on it every night and compete like always

00:23 but we'll earn everything we get and we've got some good additions, obviously Gionna

00:29 and Vlad returning. I'm expecting a big year from Vlad and the usual suspects myself, I

00:34 have to perform and biz. We've got some young guys that look like they've had a good summer

00:39 so there's some choices to make here and spaces to fill.

00:42 You've been here before, two or three seasons over in Hull obviously. It's a role you're

00:48 obviously very used to. The last couple of years I know you were assisting Greg who departed

00:55 earlier on in the summer. How much are you looking forward to getting back to combining

00:58 the two roles? Because it's not an easy role is it?

01:00 No it's not so much those two roles, it's when you combine being a parent and having

01:06 a full time job alongside it and everything that comes with it. The phone calls, the problems,

01:10 the issues. But I love hockey, I've still got a massive hunger for it. I'm excited to

01:15 put my own stamp on it and I think the boys will respond. They're all positive about me

01:19 being here. Greg did a great job and he's handed over a nice team here so good group

01:27 and hopefully we can make one or two more additions and I think we could be really strong.
