AS Lewis Baldwin looks ahead to a further two years with Leeds Knights, perhaps one of the best compliments paid to him during the 2023-24 campaign came from regular defensive partner, Noah McMullin.
The two struck up a blossoming relationship on the ice last season, thrown together as they were by head coach, Ryan Aldridge. “He works so hard and makes life so easy for me,” said the Canadian import, himself having made a name for himself in his first season outside his native Canada. It isn’t just McMullin who benefitted from having 24-year-old Baldwin around, though - it seems the entire organisation did, both on and off the ice.
“It’s been a great three years so far and, hopefully, keep building on what we’ve got here in Leeds over the next two seasons. Aldridge said getting a new two-year deal done with Baldwin was a simple process – and one of the easiest of such conversations he has had in the past few weeks. “I thought he had a great year last season and he has come on massively,” said Aldridge. “So to have him back is a no-brainer for everybody at the organisation.
