GREAT Britain ice hockey coach Chris McSorley has resigned to concentrate on his duties with Swiss outfit Geneva Servette.

The Canadian, who will be 41 later this month, has held the post since 2001 but has decided to step down ahead of the World Championships in Hungary in April.

McSorleys assistant Rick Strachan, coach of Hull Stingrays, will take charge for the tournament, which will be held in Debrecen between April 17-23, and work with Dundee Stars' Roger Hunt.
