The Trade-Mart Dundee Stars are delighted to announce the signing of forward Rowan Mills on a two-way contract for the remainder of the 2024-2025 Elite League campaign.

A talented young player from the Kirkcaldy Junior programme, 18-year-old Rowan joins the club on a two-way arrangement with the Aberdeen Lynx of the Scottish National League, who will have first call on him.

Mills has previously played in Scottish youth leagues at Under 16’s and Under 19’s level for Fife and Dundee sides before making his SNL debut with Kirkcaldy Kestrels in the 2022-2023 season.

He also has experience in the English Under 18’s second league, as well as the NIHL1 and NIHL2, with Rowan’s most recent club being Billingham Stars of the NIHL1.

Mills will follow in the footsteps of Dominic Jaglar and Gary Kelly, who are also on two-way contracts with the Stars and the Lynx.

 

 

LEFEBVRE ON MILLS

Discussing the addition of the Mills, Stars Director of Hockey Operations and Head Coach, Marc LeFebvre said: “I am always looking to see who is coming up the ranks here in Scotland and Rowan caught my attention.

“We have had him at a few training sessions and he has been with us since the new year and he has really impressed me.

“He gets stuck in, he has a lot of speed to his game, he is very youthful and enthusiastic for the game, he wants to get better every day and asks questions.

“We thought it would be great for him to play with Aberdeen as well, get some more game time at the senior level and we can keep an eye on him – we have done the same thing with Gary (Kelly) and Dominick (Jaglar).

“I really like what Aberdeen have done with their young players and it will be a great experience for Rowan to not only play at the senior level with Aberdeen but to also get some training time with us.

“We are always looking for quality players and development opportunities are very important to me after seeing players like (Jonathan) McBean come through the junior programme recently, so we are always on the lookout for new players.”
