FARMER JOINS THE BASINGSTOKE BISON 




The Basingstoke Bison are delighted to announce the signing of Canadian forward Charles Farmer for the 2026/27 season.


The 27-year-old forward arrives in Basingstoke following a season in French Division 2 with Nantes, having previously played in the Canadian USports system with Nipissing University. Across four seasons in USports, Farmer recorded 64 points in 92 regular-season games.


Head Coach Tony Redmond said:


“I am excited that Charlie has agreed to join the herd for the forthcoming season and am looking forward to the positive impact he can bring to us at both ends of the ice.”


Speaking about joining the Herd, Farmer said:


“I’m honoured to sign with the club and excited for the opportunity to play hockey in the UK. I’m looking forward to the new challenges that come with moving to a different country, getting to know my teammates, the fans, and giving everything I have every time I step on the ice. Can’t wait to see what the herd is all about. See you soon!”
