Soaraway McSorley joins Geneva Eagles

Chris McSorley, the popular coach of the London Knights, is leaving the ice hockey club to become the general manager-head coach of the Geneva Servette Eagles in Switzerland.

Geneva, who play in Division Two of the Swiss National League, and the Knights are owned by Anschutz Sports Holdings.

McSorley, who has been with the Knights for the past two seasons, coached his side to last year's Superleague play-off title, London's first piece of silverware in their three-year history.

This season they lost 2-1 to Sheffield Steelers in the play-off final but in January the Knights won the silver medal at the Continental Cup finals in Zurich.

McSorley said: "This was a tough decision to make. My two years in London have been the most enjoyable of my professional coaching career."
