DAVEY LAWRENCE believes he is well-equipped to take charge of Leeds Knights’ second team, having enjoyed a ‘fast-track’ learning process under Ryan Aldridge.
The 39-year-old, from Barnsley, will work closely with Leeds Junior Knights’ head coach Seth Bennett as well as the seniors’ head coach Aldridge as the NIHL National champions look to bridge the gap between junior and senior hockey for talented youngsters coming through the programme at Elland Road Ice Arena and beyond. “It’s about providing a line of continuity so kids have that progression they need,” said Lawrence.
He does things slightly differently to other people, you learn bits about the game that you perhaps wouldn’t normally look at. 'This will allow us to bring through young, elite players and try and develop them on to that next level, whether that be from Leeds or elsewhere. 'It will also allow us to integrate players into the National league team when the time is right and certain players are ready.
