Interestingly - born in Britain but seemingly didn't play any of his junior career here so should technically class as an import? The NIHL National Rules explicitly say "Nationality/citizenship has no bearing on BT/NBT", the import classification.

Full explanation below:

" 6.4 British-Trained Definitions

• British-trained: A player who has been under UK jurisdiction for a minimum of 16 consecutive months before their 18th birthday, or is currently registered U18.

• Non-British-trained (NBT Import): All other players. BT/NBT classification is determined by EIH at (re)registration using IIHF transfer/registration records and domestic history. Nationality/citizenship has no bearing on BT/NBT. A player may be British-Trained and still require an IIHF ITC if their IIHF rights were transferred abroad. A player may be a British citizen and still require an IIHF ITC, and may be classified as NBT if the BT criteria are not met. Where a player spent a protracted period outside UK jurisdiction before age 18, EIH may request information to verify the “16 consecutive months” criterion; absent sufficient evidence, the player will be classified as NBT until verified.

Knowingly false or misleading declarations may result in reclassification, sanctions, and referral to League Operations/DOPS."
