McSorley takes national stage

Former London Knights head coach Chris McSorley takes charge of the Great Britain ice hockey team for the first time this weekend.

After a series of domestic near misses with London, McSorley - who is taking over as coach of Geneva next season - is determined to gain promotion from World Championship Group B as Britain go into five games in seven days at the Hala Tivoli rink in Ljubljana, Slovenia. They start on Sunday against Estonia.

The GB team, who start a two-day training camp in Nottingham today before flying out, also play games against Croatia, hosts Slovenia, China and Kazakhstan.
