We have assembled a team of passionate and talented coaches who are dedicated to developing our young players and fostering a love for the game. With their expertise and guidance, we are confident that our players will thrive both on and off the ice.
Let’s meet the coaches who will be leading our teams:
Junior Bison
🔶 Under 10s:
🔶 Under 12s:
Head Coach:
Chris Beauclerk
I’m really excited to be offered the opportunity to lead the team for the 23/24 season. Having worked with the existing U12 players and the U10 players moving up, I know we have a great team to build with. I’m very fortunate to be assisted by some fantastic coaches and look forward to much success next season.
Coach:
Leah Trueman
Coach:
Phil Holt
🔶 Under 14s:
Head Coach:
Rob Lamey
Having been working with these kids now for just over two years I am excited to be re-united with the squad that made the National Finals in 2022. I am looking forward to helping them continue with their hockey journey, and to see how many of them take what they have learned from their first season in U14s hockey in to their senior year in this age group, as well as watching the U12s coming up adapt to U14s hockey. It should be a fun season for me, Josie, Lee and Paul!
Coach:
Josie Lamey
🔶 Under 16s:
Head Coach:
Gareth Phillips
I’m excited to be getting back behind the bench with the U16’s for the ‘23-‘24 season. I’m positive that with this group we can build on what was learned last season and go on to bigger and better things on the ice.
I’m also really excited to be working alongside Anthony this season. He’s bringing a lot of experience and knowledge to the room and the team.
Next season holds a lot of questions for the club, but one thing I’m sure of is that our team will enjoy their hockey and learn what it takes to take them to the next level of this awesome game.
See you at the rink!
Coach:
Anthony Page
🔶 Under 18s:
Head Coach:
Ryan Cathcart
Coach:
Simon Beere
Coach:
Pete Litwin
We are all looking forward to the 2023/24 season. The Under 18 Bison have had seen a large group of their leadership team and experienced players from last season move on to further their experience at an adult level.
However we are very well equipped for the coming season, retaining part of that leadership group and experience.
23/24 We can provide the opportunity for younger 18’s to make a real impact, contribute with special teams and deliver scoring as well as playmaking opportunity.
There is real scope next season to introduce new teammates into the group who will offer further energy and drive.
Strong netminding and a stable group with the injection of impact players and skilled players from the 16’s puts us in a super position for everyone to improve and have a fun season ahead.
Bench Coach:
Simon Beere
We are really excited by the positive response from Paul and Hals, it gives us a chance to help fill the temporary void left by the Bison whilst still developing players and young coaches for the future.The player-coach position for your first venture into senior coaching can be a tough job which I’m sure the Boys are up for, I will be working alongside them, covering the bench on game days, and offering guidance and support whenever needed
Head Coach:
Hallam Wilson
I’m excited about a new opportunity and sharing the knowledge and experience that I’ve built up over the past seasons with the bison. We are focused on working with the juniors and helping push the team to be the best they can.It’s a great opportunity for me to learn a new aspect of the game and work with some guys that I played with as a junior
Coach:
Paul Petts
As soon as Simon approached Hals and I about coaching the Buffalo it was an instant yes. I’m excited to have this opportunity to get into coaching at a competitive level as well as help further the development of a junior system to which I owe a lot of credit. I am looking forward to the upcoming trial dates to get the ball rolling.
