Andrew Lord (born February 22, 1985) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is currently the player/coach for the Cardiff Devils in the Elite Ice Hockey League.[1]

Career

Lord attended the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, from 2004 to 2008, where he played ice hockey, while earning a degree in business management.

He launched his professional career in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL), where he spent two and a half years with the Wheeling Nailers, before moving to the American Hockey League (AHL), signing with the Oklahoma City Barons in late December 2010.[2] He had to sit out the 2011-12 season with an injury.

In 2012, Lord took up on offer from Germany and inked a deal with second-division side SC Riessersee.[3] After spending one year in Germany, he signed with the Cardiff Devils of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) for the 2013-14 season.[4] Showing his scoring ability, he tallied 23 goals and 36 assists in 60 games during his first year there. Prior to his second year with the Devils (2014-15), he accepted the position as player/coach and kept his scoring hot, chipping in with 23 goals and 38 assists in 62 contests, guiding his team to the EIHL Challenge Cup title and a third-place finish in the EIHL, while receiving All-EIHL Coach of the Year honors.[5]
