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’ 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.
