Peter "Jonker"Johnson


Peter came as Head Coach for the start of the 1990-1991 season .
He brought along with him his three sons Stephen, Anthony and Shaun. It was said that the transfer fee was £35,000 for the three brothers and reported as being the biggest fee paid for in Ice Hockey at the time. It should be said that at the time of the deal the Hockey Team was financed by Humberside County Council
