Alex Dampier is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on May 3, 1951 in Nipigon, Nipigon, Canada. Alex “Damps” Dampier (born (1951-05-03 ) May 3, 1951) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey player and coach. He is a member of the British Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.
Dampier’s first involvement on the international scene came in 1981 when he was the coach of the Great Britain team at the World Championships Pool C tournament in Peking, China. It was an inauspicious start for his international coaching career as the GB team lost all their matches and did not take part in world competition again until 1990. However, Dampier was put in charge of the under-21 GB team between 1982 and 1988 when they won the bronze medal in Pool C twice.
In 1990 Dampier was again made coach to the senior team for the World Championships Pool D tournament in Cardiff, Wales. The team won all four of the games and gained promotion to Pool C. Despite high expectations in 1991, the team only finished fifth in the nine team tournament held in Copenhagen, Denmark. However, the following year, 1992, in Hull, England the team gained promotion to World Championships Pool B and, in 1993, promotion into Pool A. However, in 1994 in Bolzano, Italy, the team lost all their matches and were relegated back to Pool B.
Dampier moved to the Panthers’ arch-rivals, the Sheffield Steelers, in January
- Whilst with the Steelers, he guided them to promotion from the British Hockey League Division 1 and the following season, in the Premier Division, he took them to the playoff weekend at Wembley Arena. He became the club’s General Manager and hired Clyde Tuyl as the head coach. Together, Dampier and Tuyl guided the Steelers to the club’s first league championship. The following season, 1995–96, the team again won the league championship (the final one before the formation of the Ice Hockey Superleague) as well as the playoffs and the Benson & Hedges Cup for the club’s first grand slam. The Steelers again won the playoffs in 1996–97.
Dampier moved to the United Kingdom in 1978 and joined the Murrayfield Racers as a defender. He became the Racers’ player-coach the following season and then only played intermittently for them from the beginning of the 1983–84 season until he retired from playing in 1985.
