Achlevements and Perfornianco
The 2024125 season has been a highly successful and progresstve yearfor Leeds Junior Knights.
combining exceptional on-ice achievement with continue(J growth in participation and player
development. The Trustees are pleased to report that th8 club has continued to fulfil its
charltable objectives ot promoting participation in ice hockey. developing young athletes in 8
safe and inclusive environment. and supporting clear pathvmys into higher levels of the sport.
From a performance perspective. this has been one ofthe most successful seasons in the
club's history. Both the U14 2nd U16 teams were crowned Northem and National Champions.
reflectingthe strength and consistency otthe club's development model. The U19 team also
enjoye(J an outstanding campaign, reaching the National Final before narrowly losing OLrt to
Nottingham. demonstrating the depth of talent across the older age groups.
A particularly slgnifv￿nt milestone this season has been the continued progression of pL8yer$
into senior hockey. Edgars Vengis became thetirst Leeds Junior Knights player to make his
debut forthe Leeds Knights senior team, perfoming wtth gre8t success and setting a
benchmark for future generations. In addition. a number of players stepped up to rep￿Sent
Leeds Knights 2. marking an important transition into senior competitive hockey. These
achievements are a clear validation ofthe club's player development pathway and its abilityto
prepare athletes forthe next level ofthe game.

On8 of the key strategic decisions taken duringthe season w8S the expansion of the U12
programmeto teams. This was notwithoLrt its challenges. and at times proved difficult to
communicate to parents, particularlywhen results did not immediately reflect progress.
However. the decision was made with a long-temi developmentfocus. prioritising increased ice
time and appropriate competitive environments for ail players. The Trustees are confidentthat
this approach has been highly effective, Wbth clear improvements in player development and
more athletes now competing at a higher level. This is an investment that is already beginningto
show positive returns and will continue to benetrt the club in future seasons.
At theyoungeF end ofthe pathway. the U10 progr8mme continues to Erow strongly. with
increasing partlClP8tion and players thriving in Northem League jamborees. This remains a
critic81 foundation for the club. ensuring a steat1y pipeline of developing players. The girls,
programme has also remoined stsble and su8t8in8ble. with consistently strong p8rticipation
levels throughoutthe season. The Trustees remain committed to supporting and growingfem818
participatlon wtthin the sport.
The club has also been well represented 8t national and intemational level. Two players
achieved gold medats with the Great Britaln Women's U18 team at theworld Championships in
Latvia. while two players represented the GB U18 men'steam. winning silver in Italy. Leeds
Junior Knights was further represented at GB U16 level. with six players Selected for the boys,
squad and two forthe girLs'. In addition. the club had a strong presence within England squads
and national showcase events. These achievements highlightthe club's growlng reputation as a
centre for developing elite-ievel talent.
Player experience has also been enhanced throu￿ international opportunities, most notably
the U16 Division 2 team's tourto Sweden. where they competed in a toumament environment
and performed verywell. Experiences such as these play an important role in broadening
players, development both on and off the ice.
Participation levels across tr¢e club have now reached approximately 180 players, effectively
placing the club at full c8pacty under current ice availability. While this reflects the strength
8nd attractiveness of the progr8mme, r( also presents a signfftcant challenge. Demand for
places continues to exceed supply, and without access to additional ice time. the club will be
unable to expand further. Securing increased facilty access remains 8 key strategic priority for
the Truatcc? movingforward.
Looking ahead. the club will continue to locus on strengthening its player development
pathway. SUPPOrting progression into national and intemational opportunf(ies. and maintsining
high standards of coaching. $afeguardin& and govein8nce. There wiu 81s0 be an ongoing
emphasis on expandingfemale participation and ensuring the club remains incltjsive and
accessible to all.
In conclusion, the Trustees believe th8t the 2024125 season represents 8 iandmarkyearfor
Leeds Junior Knights. The combination of competitNe success, strong development outcomes.
and increasing national recognitron demonstrates that the club is well-positioned lor continued
growth and success. The Trustees remain committed to deiNering 8 high-quality junior ice
hockey programme that Supports both particlpation and excellence wÉthin a safe and weil-
governed environm8nt.
