In Ice Hockey,

Jonathan Phillips, the captain of Great Britain, is hoping for the perfect ending to his career by leading his team to the highest tier of ice hockey’s World Championship.

The upcoming World Championship Division 1 Group A event, which begins on Saturday, will take place on GB’s home in Nottingham.

Phillips, who is the most experienced player on the Great Britain team, will be retiring at the age of 40 after their last game on May 5th.

With only the top two sides qualifying for the 2024 World Championship, Phillips’ side will face a tough challenge competing against Lithuania, Korea, Poland, and Romania. However, Phillips remains confident that his side can get the job done in Nottingham.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Phillips said, “Our main goal is to win gold and promotion. It’s a very tight, strong group, and GB has not often been one of the top seeds. So we really have to focus on ourselves and keep pushing the pace.”
