Talks Conclude Between DJR Sports Ltd and SSIHC Ltd Regarding Future of Solway Sharks.

​SSIHC Ltd can confirm that discussions with DJR Sports Ltd regarding the future operation of the Solway Sharks Ice Hockey Club have now formally concluded.

​Throughout the dialogue, both parties engaged constructively and in good faith, with a shared understanding of the importance of the club to its supporters and the wider community. We thank DJR Sports Ltd for their time and cooperation during this process.

​Following careful consideration, SSIHC Ltd has taken the decision to move forward independently and will not be pursuing the transfer or acquisition of assets from DJR Sports Ltd. As a result, all matters relating to pre-sold sponsorship agreements and 2026/27 season tickets remain the responsibility of DJR Sports Ltd.

​Important Information for Supporters, Sponsors, and Stakeholders.

​Sponsorships & Season Tickets: All individuals and organisations who have purchased sponsorship packages or season tickets for the 2026/27 season should now contact DJR Sports Ltd directly regarding refunds or further information. SSIHC Ltd will not be assuming responsibility for any prior financial commitments made under DJR Sports Ltd.

We understand the importance of clarity and transparency at this time and encourage all affected parties to seek prompt communication.

​SSIHC Ltd is now focused on establishing a new, sustainable future for NIHL ice hockey in the region. Our group of directors remains fully committed to ensuring the continuation of the sport at a competitive level and to rebuilding strong relationships with supporters, sponsors, and the local community.

Our talks are very positive with Dumfries and Galloway Council, and we are expecting to have a deal concluded in the very near future.

​Further updates regarding next steps, including club structure, participation, and supporter engagement, will be communicated in due course.

​We thank everyone for their patience, understanding, and continued support during this transitional period.

Jamie Thomson.

A statement from Jamie Thomson - Solway Sharks Season 25/26 General Manager.

In light of recent media coverage regarding the future of the Solway Sharks Ice Hockey Club, I would like to provide a clear and factual update on the current situation on behalf of the previous management group.

The club has been placed in an extremely serious position by current ownership, and its future is currently very much uncertain. This situation has arisen over the last 2 weeks while the management team have been planning for the upcoming 26/27 season. It is important for us to address speculation currently circulating. Any rumours regarding completed deals, new ownership, pre-arranged plans, or any form of agreed pathway forward are entirely false. This situation has developed within the past week, and no such agreements exist.

We have read many comments and posts saying all will be well, there will be a plan in place. This is not the case currently. There is a very real possibility that a viable solution may not be found. However, a number of committed individuals are working urgently to explore every possible option to try and secure the club’s future, and I can confirm the council have been very open and supportive to a solution being found with a new party and that they want the Solway Sharks to live on.

Our primary objective is to retain the Solway Sharks’ position within the NIHL and avoid the need for the club to operate at a lower level even for a short spell. We remain fully committed to doing everything within our power to help safeguard its future during this incredibly challenging period.

Given the seriousness of the situation, we are calling for as much support as possible. We welcome conversations with any individuals, businesses, or organisations who may be in a position to assist, whether through investment, sponsorship, or other forms of support. The level of help we can secure in the coming days and weeks will be critical to determining the club’s future and the time for these conversations really is now. Email: [email protected]

We would also advise that any individuals or organisations who have already committed funds for future events/sponsorship via DJR Sports LTD should contact the current ownership directly via email at [email protected].
No other parties have visibility of who those individuals are or the nature of those commitments. Only DJR Sports LTD is in a position to advise on any matters relating to those funds, including any process regarding potential refunds, particularly as they will not be operating the team going forward.

Finally, I sincerely hope that the current ownership will act in the best interests of all stakeholders and allow the club to be taken forward under new ownership should that opportunity arise. Significant personal and professional sacrifices have already been made by many in support of the club including the owner of DJR Sports LTD, and enabling a quick a smooth transition would be a major factor in giving the Solway Sharks the best possible chance of continuing to compete at NIHL National level.

Further updates will be provided as and when there is confirmed information to share.

Statement from the Solway Sharks Official Supporters Club (SSOSC)
​
​The Solway Sharks Official Supporters Club (SSOSC) is fully aware of the ongoing and evolving situation regarding the management of the Solway Sharks between DJR Sports and Dumfries and Galloway Council. We understand that this is a period of uncertainty for everyone invested in the club, from the players and staff to our dedicated fanbase and sponsors.

​We have been made aware of a new group that has come forward with a formal intent to support the Solway Sharks. Their primary objective aligns with ours, ensuring the team remains at its rightful home, Dumfries Ice Bowl.

​The SSOSC is committed to the following:
​
Active Collaboration. We will work constructively with both the new interested group and Dumfries and Galloway Council.

​Sustainability. Our focus is on fostering a long-term, stable environment that secures the future of the Sharks for years to come.

​National League Hockey. We are dedicated to ensuring that professional, high-level National League ice hockey continues to be played in Dumfries.

​The Importance of Our Community!
​Ice hockey is more than just a sport in Dumfries; it is a cornerstone of our local identity. The Ice Bowl serves as a hub for families, youth development, and community spirit. Losing the Sharks would be a significant blow to the cultural and social fabric of our town.

​The SSOSC remains steadfast in its mission to protect this legacy. We will continue to advocate for the best interests of the fans and the club to ensure that the "Shark Tank" remains a center for excellence and community pride.
​
We will keep our members informed as things progress and more information becomes available to us. Your Support to not only the Solway Sharks but the Solway Sharks OSC is needed now more than ever.

We will be making no further comment at this time.

Signed,
​The Solway Sharks Official Supporters Club management group.
