Klempa signs for Blaze
12-Jul-2005 | Discuss this ArticleMartin Klempa, last seasons starting netminder for the Belfast Giants, has signed with the Coventry Blaze for the 2005/06 season.
The 31 year old Slovakian replaces Jody Lehman who backstopped the Blaze on their way to the grand slam last season.
Blaze coach Paul Thompson said "When I realised that I would have to look around for another netminder I found Martin was available and signed up as quickly as was possible."
"Martin is a very good goalie indeed. He is very technical, very agile and like most European netminders has good lateral movement. His positioning is excellent and he wears a right glove, which is unusual and can cause opposition teams some difficulty."
