IT may not have been the dream ending James Archer was looking to bow out his hockey career with, but it came pretty damn close.

A shoot-out loss to former club Peterborough Phantoms in the NIHL National Play-off final at Coventry on Sunday denied Leeds Knights a second successive double triumph. But, despite the heartache, Archer insisted he and his team-mates were still able to look back on the 2023-24 campaign with pride.

“And they’ll learn from this, they’ll understand the pressure and they’ll know that feeling of a loss in a final on the very last day of the season. “I’ve had it happen to me a few times. I’ve experienced it, I’ve been there and lost in a final before. “And you do learn and you do come back, the year after or the year after that - you know what you need to do and you build and these guys will do that.
