THE last time the group format was employed for the NIHL National play-offs, it didn’t go well for Leeds Knights.
Having finished fourth in the regular season standings, they found themselves in a group with Milton Keynes Lightning, Telford Tigers and Bees IHC. They lost all six games. Of a Knights’ roster that had no imports and that played through that post-season, only five players remain in the current line-up – Lewis Baldwin, Kieran Brown, Sam Gospel, Jordan Griffin and Ethan Hehir.
“And the lack of depth in the line-up was another factor – there were maybe 15 or 16 people in the whole team and there were no imports either. And I think that year, more than anything, they were as much mentally tired as they were physically tired. “There was so much uncertainty as to what was going on at that point, too, I think it was just too much for everybody to handle at such a young age.
