Lee Valley Lions

The Lee Valley Lions are delighted to announce the re-signing of Colombian international forward Antonio Espinosa for the 2026-27 season.

Antonio put up 4 goals and 8 assists in 8 league games for the Lions last season having joined part-way through the campaign, and also added 3 assists in his solitary Eddie Joseph Memorial Cup game.

This gave him a total of 15 points in 9 games for an average of 1.67 points per game.

Now he’s back in Lions colours for the full 2026-27 season and we can’t wait to see what he does for us on the ice.

Antonio commented: “I am excited about the upcoming season. There is a lot that we can accomplish for the fans and for ourselves. I look forward to seeing where hard work can take us.”

We’re looking to bolster our fantastic team of game day volunteers – can you help us?

We are looking for eager people willing to help in any of the following areas:
Goal judge
Timekeeper
DJ
Physio

Or if you can strengthen the pride in other ways, please also get in touch.

In return for helping the club out, you’ll get free entry to every home game, and a great view of the game too.

If you’re interested or have any questions, don’t hesitate to fire us an email at leevalleylionsmanager@gmail.com – we can’t wait to hear from you!
