The legacy of Shudra hockey in Sheffield will continue, after Cole put pen to paper on a new deal this summer.

Cole, son of Steelers legend “Rocket Ron,” though is making his own name after playing in more than 350 Elite League games of his own.

Last season, Cole was in the line up for all 54 league games, as well as 11 Cup and 8 CHL fixtures.

After becoming the Steelers first ever “Apprentice” in 2016, Cole has fought his way to become a Steelers regular, playing in Milton Keynes, Leeds Knights, and the Sheffield Steeldogs before joining the full time professional ranks in 2023.

Cole was also a member of the GB men’s national side that won promotion back to the top tier of World hockey in May.

Aaron Fox on the return of Cole Shudra”

“Shuds back is another no brainer for us. Another big bodied Brit that I think is ready to take the next step into becoming a player that can move up in the lineup and bring more offence to his game. 

“After his season with GB ends, I think he will have a great summer and hit the ground running next season.”
