Yesterday’s game was the last in the career of our captain #16 Simon Jones, as he hangs up his skates at the end of the season.
Simon joined the Lions in 2015 and has been a stalwart of the team ever since, playing 8 seasons with the team – the last 5 of those as captain.
His 143 regular season games played for the Lions puts Simon 10th on the club’s all-time appearances list, and he played over 160 games for the club in total.
Happy retirement Simon and thanks for all you’ve done for the club over the past 9 years!

The Lions have played their last game of the 2023/24 season and will now be enjoying a well-earned rest until the summer, when try-outs for the 2024/25 campaign will get going. If you’re interested in joining the team next season, then keep an eye on our website/social media as we’ll post details of trials closer to the time.
Until then, here’s a fantastic photo of this season’s squad, courtesy of Kim Jones. Well done and thank you to all the players, fans and volunteers who’ve been involved with Lee Valley Lions in their first season back at the Den.

The Lions’ player/coach, James Scott-Joseph, has featured in a short video that talks about the steps he and Lee Valley Ice Centre are taking to encourage more people to take up ice hockey. He also mentions his dad, who spent many years doing this – the greatly missed Eddie Joseph. You can read the article here.
Today’s away game against Chelmsford Warriors has been postponed, so please do not travel to the rink. We will have more information about a new date once the information is available to us.
