Edinburgh Capitals are delighted to announce the return of forward Sean Cochrane for the remainder of the 2026-2027 SNL season.
Sean is a familiar face to Capitals supporters, having spent the past four seasons with the club after joining us from Kirkcaldy Kestrels in 2022. Having initially decided to step away from senior hockey over the summer, Sean has now had a change of heart and is ready to get back on the ice and finish the season with the Capitals.
At 30 years old, Sean brings valuable experience, quality and a winning mentality to the roster. Having played an important role in the club’s successes over recent seasons, his return is a welcome boost as we look to push on for the remainder of the campaign.
During his time in Capitals colours, Sean has made over 145 appearances, averaging an impressive point per game with 55 goals and 90 assists, giving him a total of 145 points.
On his return to the club, Sean had this to say, “After a short period away from the game, I’ve made the decision to return to the SNL. You quickly start missing the feeling of playing in front of the great fans and playing with all the boys. I’m grateful to be given the opportunity to come back, and hopefully we can win more silverware later in the season.”
Head Coach Steven Lynch also welcomed the addition, recognising the importance of bringing a player of Sean’s experience back into the squad at this stage of the season, “Sean has always been a big part of things here, and after he decided to step back at the end of last season after 4 years with us, we said to him that if he ever wanted to return, the door was open for him. After talking with him earlier this week, it was obvious he wanted to return, and bringing him back was something I didn’t have to think about. It was a very short conversation where we’re both happy with the outcome and he’s fitted back into the group like he’s never been away.
“Everyone knows what Sean has done for this club since reforming. He brings so many good attributes both on and off the ice. Our squad has just got a little bit better and a little bit deeper, and I’m sure our fans will be happy to see him back in a Capitals jersey once again.”
Sean will go straight into the line-up for tomorrow’s fixture against North Ayrshire Wild. Face-off: 6:30pm here at Murrayfield Ice Arena.
LET’S GO CAPITALS!
