It’s 430 games not out for Invicta Dynamos club stalwart Harrison Lillis, who will captain the side this season.

Lillis’ pre-season appearance against Streatham a fortnight ago led to him breaking the record for all-time games played at the club, having broken into the first team from the club’s junior ranks aged 17.

Now 29, the long-serving D-man has been picked by head coach Karl Lennon to replace retired Tom Davis as club captain.

Lennon said: “Tom Davis retired after a long-standing career in British hockey and he’s done a fantastic job for us, big boots to fill, but Harrison Lillis is a long-standing Dynamos player, and eclipsing the all-time appearance-making record is a quite special achievement.

“I think he will be a fantastic captain.

Lillis iced in all 41 fixtures for the Mos last season, showing his reliability.

“He has been a big part of the club for a long time,” said Lennon.

“When you think of Invicta Dynamos, you think of Harrison Lillis, a club stalwart, who is very well known not to just our fans but fans around the league.

“I had options to choose different players as captain but sometimes the most obvious decision is the right decision. I weighed it all up, not just his playing ability, but the way he is to other players.

“I felt he matured a lot last year. We have had some difficult years and Harrison has had to navigate those himself.

“He has kept a level head and he helped the players around him last year in an assistant captain’s role and he did a great job.”
