Lee Valley Lions

With the UK government relaxing restrictions on indoor sports, the Lee Valley Lions are now able to resume with our usual off-season open tryout sessions.

The tryout sessions will take place every Tuesday evening from 8.15pm, with a £10 charge towards ice time.

These sessions will run up to and including Tuesday 22nd June, with Lee Valley Ice Centre closing its doors for refurbishment on Sunday 27th June.
After this point, the Lions are looking to relocate the sessions to another location, which is yet to be determined.

If you would like to participate in one of the sessions, you must have EIHA-approved insurance in place, which can be obtained here for British trained players.
Unfortunately we will not be able to invite non-British trained players to these sessions, due to the length of time required to get this insurance sorted.

Any prospective player wishing to attend the sessions must also contact our General Manager, Eddie Joseph, on 07958 743680 at least four days beforehand.
This is so that you can be made aware of the ice rink’s COVID-19 protocols, and to ensure insurance is in place.

After a complete dearth of hockey over the past year, check out this short article on Rising East about the Lions’ hopes and plans for the 2021/22 season.

*EDIT: As London is currently under Tier 4 restrictions the ice rink is closed and no training sessions can go ahead.  This position will remain unchanged until London is moved into a lower tier that allows ice rinks to operate.*

Lee Valley Ice Centre has re-opened and we are running sessions on Tuesday evenings from 8.15pm, with a £10 charge towards ice time.  If you are interested in playing for the Lions this season then you need to first call Eddie Joseph on 07958 743680 to book your place.  

IMPORTANT: For you to be allowed to go on the ice you must bring a completed Hockey Health Declaration Seniors form to each session you attend.  This is a requirement of the rink management, so if you don’t bring your form you won’t be able to skate.

Lee Valley Ice Centre has re-opened, but there is currently no date as to when hockey can get started again at the rink.  As soon as there is any news it will be posted here.
