Coventry Blaze have signed Liam Stewart, son of music legend Rod, for the start of next season.
The 21-year-old was born in London and moved with his mother Rachel Hunter to America at the age of three where he fell in love with the sport.
He joined the LA Junior Kings youth programme before moving to the Western Hockey League's top junior team Spokane Chiefs.
Stewart was named Rookie of the Year in his first season and over four terms, scored 57 goals and 75 assists in 251 games.
He played in two play-off games for Quad City Mallards before joining Alaska Aces but his season was cut short by injury.
"I'm fully recovered now and I am itching to get back on the ice to start the season," said Stewart, who will count as a foreign import due to his overseas development.
"I have been considering coming over to the Elite League for some time now - I just wasn't sure of which team it was going to be," he added on Coventry Blaze's website.
"I've watched highlights of the league and have some buddies who play there so knew it could be a league that I wanted to play in.
"Seeing as I know a couple of guys like Ross Venus, Matt Selby and David Clements from playing with them on Team GB, I knew Coventry would be a good fit."
