THERE were never any added ‘great expectations’ placed on Robert Dowd’s shoulders once he was awarded the Sheffield Steelers’ captaincy - Aaron Fox was already well aware of what he was getting from the man he had chosen as successor to Jonathan Phillips.
“He’s a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and is a passion player,” said the Steelers’ head coach. “He’s just one of those guys who brings it every single night. “I know some people may feel like there were added expectations with the ‘C’, but there never was a concern for me there regarding Dowdy.” So far, Dowd has risen to the ‘occasion’. Ahead of Wednesday night’s Challenge Cup clash at home to Manchester Storm, he has scored five goals in as many league and cup games.
Storm currently top the regular season league standings having dropped just the one point in four games, although it is Cup points that are on offer at the Utilita Arena with the Steelers looking to add to the two they won in a comprehensive 6-0 rout of hosts’ Nottingham Panthers 10 days ago. “Manchester are playing very good hockey at the moment,” added Fox.
