ALMOST two years after moving north to Leeds, Bailey Perre has been left in no doubt.
“Coming up here has been the best decision I’ve ever made,” says the 20-year-old defenceman. Having won two NIHL National regular season league titles and a play-off crown during that time, it would be hard to argue with Perre. But it isn’t just about the trophies and medals for the Swindon-born right-hander. One of the biggest positives for the youngster since he left friends and family behind in the summer of 2022 has been the way he has matured – both on and off the ice.
“I’m going to get the best of both worlds in a way. “Essentially, this is an opportunity for me to become a better player. If in a few years’ time I can be one of the top guys in the first team, then this will have all been worthwhile. “I know I’m a better player than when I first came up here two years ago. There are a lot of aspects to that.
