Lee Valley Lions

After our best performance of the season yesterday, let’s keep the good vibes going and announce a new signing to brighten up your Monday!

Welcome to British-trained Belarussian forward Yuriy Shulzhenko, who joins the Lions from the Imperial Devils of the British Universities Ice Hockey Association!

Yuriy played junior hockey in Bracknell at U16 and U18 level, before spending the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons in university hockey for Imperial.

Now he joins the Lions for his first foray into NIHL league hockey.

Ahead of our double-header against Haringey and Invicta this weekend, we can announce the re-signing of defenceman Daniel Tamasauskas for the 2021-22 season.

Glad to have you back, Daniel!
