Alex "Damps" Dampier (born (1951-05-03)May 3, 1951 in Nipigon, Ontario) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player and coach. He is a member of the British Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.

Playing career

Dampier combined playing ice hockey with a degree course in Physical Education at Lakeland University. He played for the Cape Cod Cubs in the Eastern Hockey League during the 1972–73 season before joining the Muskegon Mohawks in the International Hockey League the season after.

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.

Coaching career

Whilst still with the Muskegon Mohawks, Dampier had already begun coach children.

Club

Whilst still playing (and coaching) the Racers, the team won the Northern League in the 1978–79, 1979–80 and 1980–81 seasons; the Northern Autumn Cup in 1979 and 1980; and the Icy Smith Cup in 1979, 1980 and 1981. After he retired from playing he coached the Racers to the playoff finals in 1984 and 1985.

In the sumer of 1985 Dampier joined the Nottingham Panthers as coach. In his second season with the Panthers they won the Norwich Union Trophy in 1986 and the Autumn Cup in 1991. They also won the playoffs in in 1989, made the semi-finals of the playoffs in 1990 and were losing finalists in the playoffs in 1992. Whilst with the Panthers, Dampier was twiced named the British Ice Hockey Writers Association's Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1989.[1]

Dampier moved to the Panthers' arch-rivals, the Sheffield Steelers, in January 1993. 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 Tuhl 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 championsip (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.

International

nternationally, Alex Dampier dipped his toe in the water in 1981, when he coached the Great Britain senior team in the Pool C tournament of the world championship Peking. The trip to China proved unsuccessful and it was to be a further eight years before the seniors again ventured into world competition. However, in 1984, Alex Dampier was put in charge of the under-21 juniors for six years and twice they achieved bronze medal success at Pool C level.

In 1990, he was again appointed coach to the senior squad and they won the Pool D tournament staged in Cardiff. From this point, the GB squad surged forward via the Pool C tournaments of 1991 in Copenhagen and 1992 in Humberside as winners, to the Pool B event in Eindhoven Holland in 1993. Arguably Great Britain’s finest hour in post-war hockey came as under Dampier, the team sensationally won the Eindhoven competition and were promoted to the heady heights of Pool A for the 1994 tournament staged in Bolzano, Italy.

It had been 32 years since the Great Britain ice hockey team had appeared in the top flight and while many nations not even considered hockey powers had made huge progress in that period, most notably the Russians, for Alex Dampier and the GB team to have qualified at all was a remarkable feat not seriously dreamt of when he took control
