Peoria Rivermen News Release


We recently had the chance to sit down with new Rivermen head coach Davis Payne as he settles in to his office for the 2008-09 Season at Carver Arena. Wearing shorts and a Rivermen polo that belied the cooling air in the now-waking team locker room and coaches offices, Payne also wore something else - an expression of determination.

No stranger to being a head coach, Payne has been behind the bench since leaving a playing career that included 22 NHL games following the 1999-00 season. Originally a seventh round draft pick of the Edmonton Oilers in 1989, Payne broke in to the NHL with the Boston Bruins in 1995 - his fourth professional season. He understands that it takes time to develop as a player having had to go through the process himself... and having seen the rewards of patience and hard work.
