, the club is coached by Gareth Weaver-Tyler and Claire Dobison-Lee.[5] Durham graduate and Scottish international Jamie Cachia was previously part of the coaching staff.[6]
Gavin Featherstone, a Durham alumnus and former England international who had coached the United States at the 1984 Olympics and South Africa at the 1996 Olympics, led the Durham coaching team from 2003.[7] His period in charge saw an improvement in club fortunes, with the men participating in the National Hockey League for the first time.
