“Goaltending is without question the most important position in hockey and we all know how important Brad has been for our team,” said Watkins.

“Without doubt he is one of the top goalies in the league, he has shown on several occasions he has the ability and composure to win having led us to several pieces of silverware.

“He can put in a performance to steal you a game with his solid positioning and reading of the game.

“He reads the puck off the stick very well and knows most guys shooting tendencies and has a very good record in shootouts.

“He is such a valuable member of the team on and off ice. He has great experience, understanding of the game and a very important piece in our recruitment.

“To secure him as a Tiger for the next two years is massive for us.”
