CANADIAN Zach Hervato is relishing the chance to showcase his talents after signing for Rapid Solicitors Stingrays.
After the 23-year-old's deal to join ECHL's Trenton Titans fell through last season, he joined France's Neuilly-sur-Marne, only to suffer concussion in his second match.
"I got to France and got a concussion in my second game and missed a few more so it was a tough first start to my pro career to say the least," said Hervato. "It took me a while to bounce back from the injury and get into game form since I was a late signing and hadn't played a hard game in a very long time.
"But I am excited for this fresh start in Hull and to be with a great group of guys.
"I am very excited to come to the Elite League and especially this team where I have been given the opportunity to play and prove myself."
