Jason Hewitt Jason Hewitt ( born August 28 , 1983 in Manchester , England ) is an English professional ice hockey player , currently playing for the Sheffield Steelers in the EIHL Hewitt began his fledgling career with his local junior team , the Altrincham Aces after having watched the Manchester Storm . He would prove to be a productive and keen forward , and in the 2000 / 01 season was called to represent his country at Under 18 level . This brought him to the attention of the Telford Wild Foxes , who in 2003 / 04 finally signed Hewitt . After just one game at EPL level however , he would be signed by the Manchester Phoenix to play in the EIHL , the highest level of ice hockey in the U . K . Hewitt would become a regular player for the Phoenix under head coaches Rick Brebant and Paul Heavey . Hewitt iced in 56 games for the Phoenix and although he only managing to score 3 points in that time , he brought energy and determination to the team . Hewitt ' s efforts helped the Phoenix into the playoffs , where he would score two points in six games prior to Manchester ' s elimination . Unfortunately for Hewitt , the Phoenix organisation suspended playing operations in the summer of 2004 due to financial difficulties . He moved to sign for the London Racers , again at EIHL level . Again Hewitt played on a regular basis , scoring 9 points and totalling 79 penalty minutes in 48 games . He was re - signed the following season , but after 23 games the Racers organisation was forced to suspend playing operations due to the lack of a suitable ice surface . Again Hewitt was forced to find a new club , and he took the opportunity to sign for his third EIHL club , the Basingstoke Bison . Hewitt only spent a short time in Basingstoke , moving to the Sheffield Steelers , and so would play for three different clubs in just one season . Hewitt settled far better in Sheffield , and after playing out the 2005 / 06 season in Yorkshire , was re - signed to again play for the Steelers in 2006 / 07 . Hewitt again improved his points production and became more physical for the Steelers , managing to total both his highest points tally in his professional career ( 17 ) and the greatest number of penalty minutes he had taken in a season ( 100 ) . He was again re - signed at the end of the season , and would again repay the confidence shown in him with further improvement , now scoring 10 goals and 12 assists as well as managing 106 penalty minutes . This improvement would help the Steelers to win the EIHL post - season playoffs in the 2007 / 08 season . As expected , Hewitt once again re - signed for the Steelers in the summer of 2008 , going to again increase his productivity and have his best ever season for Sheffield . The team would also lift the 2009 EIHL Play Off trophy . This led to Hewitt once again confirming his contract with the Steelers for the 2009 / 10 term . At the end of the 2009 / 10 season , the newly formed Braehead Clan expressed great interest in getting Hewitt ' s signature , and were joined in the chase by the Cardiff Devils . However on May 18 , 2010 , Hewitt pledged his services to the Sheffield Steelers for the 2010 / 11 season , becoming coach David Matsos ' 8th signing .
