The big Ukrianian defencemen, best known in his time with the Stingrays for his slapshot from the point and defence splitting passes from the blueline, had originally dropped down to the EPL and signed in South Yorkshire with the Sheffield Scimitars.
However, the Scimitars recently lost both their coach and ownership after it once again became evident that the club would struggle to compete in the second tier, leaving Gomenyuk and a whole host of players in the lurch with just a few months until the beginning of the season.
With the clubs future in the EPL in question, Gomenyuk made the decision go back on his choice to join the Scims in order to join Tony Hand at their War of the Roses and EPL rivals the Manchester Phoenix.
He will join up with former team mate and Manchester club captain Luke Boothroyd at the Phoenix as the club look to bounce back from a difficult first season in British hockeys second tier.
