Welsh Returns to Ligue Magnus with Cergy-Pontoise After Panthers Stint

Introduction

Canadian born Tyler Welsh has decided to leave the city of Nottingham to set flight for France for the upcoming season. Tyler Welsh is a strong forward who played for the Nottingham Panthers last season however, after a bad run he has decided to sign elsewhere. On the 12th of June he signed a contract with the Cergy-Pontoise in the Ligue Magnus.

Time in the Elite Ice Hockey League

Tyler Welsh signed for the Nottingham Panthers at the start of the 23/24 season and this got fans excited as he had great potential for the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL). Welsh was hyped as a brilliant import as he was coming off a season in the Ligue Magnus with Mulhouse where he sat at a point per game (PPG) average of 1.00 which was a result of 36 points (Pts) in 36 games. Welsh is known for his good teamwork and leadership on the ice and that was well on display during the 23/24 season as he 8 out of 9 of his Pts were assists (A). 


His two way game is great and this is beneficial to both himself and his team’s performance. His passing and puck handling ability has been crucial in his time with the Nottingham Panthers setting up key plays. However, his season wouldn't be the best as he would put up his worst PPG average (0.24) since turning professional. He would only score one goal (G) and 8 A. This was one of the poorest seasons in his career, so a move elsewhere might benefit him.


New Chapter

Following his underwhelming season with the Nottingham Panthers, Tyler Welsh has decided to return to familiar territory by signing with Cergy-Pontoise in the Ligue Magnus. Welsh previously showcased his potential in this league during his time with Mulhouse, where he averaged an impressive point per game (PPG) of 1.00, amassing 36 points in 36 games. This performance highlighted his offensive prowess and ability to contribute significantly to his team.


Welsh’s move back to the Ligue Magnus is seen as an opportunity for him to reignite his career and return to his previous form. His tenure with the Nottingham Panthers, though marked by strong teamwork and leadership on the ice, did not translate into the expected statistical success. With only one goal and eight assists, resulting in a PPG of 0.24, it was one of the most challenging seasons of his professional career.


In joining Cergy-Pontoise, Welsh aims to leverage his experience and skill set to make a meaningful impact. His passing and puck-handling abilities, which were crucial during his stint with the Panthers, will be vital assets for his new team. Additionally, his experience in both the EIHL and Ligue Magnus provides him with a unique perspective that could benefit Cergy-Pontoise both on and off the ice.


Conclusion

Tyler Welsh’s return to the Ligue Magnus with Cergy-Pontoise marks an exciting new chapter in his career. After a challenging season with the Nottingham Panthers, where his statistical performance did not meet expectations, Welsh is poised to rediscover his form and make a significant impact in France. His previous success in the Ligue Magnus with Mulhouse, where he achieved a point per game average of 1.00, demonstrates his potential to be a standout player once again.


Cergy-Pontoise will benefit from Welsh’s experience, leadership, and skills on the ice. His strong passing and puck-handling abilities are expected to play a crucial role in the team's success. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Welsh embarks on this fresh start, hopeful that he will bring the same level of excitement and performance that he is known for. This move not only offers Welsh a chance to revive his career but also strengthens Cergy-Pontoise’s roster for the upcoming season.
