Leeds Junior Knights

Junior ice hockey based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. We run mixed teams at all levels in the England Ice Hockey leagues, from U10s to U19s, and a U16 girls team. In the 2024-25, LJK has 170 junior members aged 4-19. Our development pathway extends from learn to play all the way up to senior hockey at National League level with the Leeds Knights, or at Women's National League with the Leeds Roses. LJK is proud to have players representing England and Great Britain in international competition, including at the IIHF U18 World Championships and the 2024 Youth Olympic Games. Our club is a registered charity, powered entirely by a volunteer staff. Our mission here at LJK is to develop quality people in a fun and competitive environment, who will achieve their potential and enjoy playing hockey at their highest level. All of our coaches, managers, committee members and trustees give up their time and energy for the love of the game. Our 4 principles are: *Development* To help players at every level improve year on year. *Competition* To provide a competitive environment in training and games for players of all abilities. Competitive play and training is crucial to player development and we promise to work hard to ensure that players find a level at which they can be competitive. *Enjoyment* To provide a safe, fun and enjoyable environment in which players flourish on and off the ice. *Equality* LJK does not discriminate against anyone on the basis of their gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality or religion. Hockey is for everyone. Junior ice hockey has no external funding streams, and we welcome enquiries about donations, sponsorship and investment from local businesses - there are limitless opportunities.
