Loiseau leaves Panthers to retire

Forward heading back to Canada

Nottingham Panthers forward Alexis Loiseau has decided to retire from ice hockey and head home to Canada, meaning that he is leaving the team immediately.

The Panthers, who had 15 imports on their roster prior to Loiseau's departure, will seek a replacement for the front man.

Director of Hockey Gui Doucet said:"“He’s a good guy and he is clearly upset about leaving us but these things happen. We have a couple of names in mind and more will no doubt come to light when the news of Alexis leaving starts to circulate."
