Without doubt Panthers star player of 2000/01, PC virtually carried Panthers offensive threat on his own for most of the season. Not overly physical, but highly skilled, PC ended his first season only 7 points away from the league top scorer mantle. His second season was something of a disappointment. Although his points return was on a par with 00/01 and once again he was just 7 points short of the top scorer, he wasn't the stand-out player of the previous year and his frustration seemed to get the better of him at times. Panthers had an option to re-sign him for 02/03 and this they did prior to Panthers final game of 01/02. Unfortunately for the Panthers, he had a clause in his contract which enabled him to leave should a higher profile side be interested and he went to Augsburg Panthers in the DEL.
He re-appeared as a Panther in mid-May of 2007 for 07/08 season in the guise of player/assistant coach. He didn't see the season out though, being released early in November, as Panthers form against better opposition continued to disappoint. At the time though he was averaging a point a game, far better than is line-mates.
