Away at Bristol – 07/12/2025 – League
Away at Cardiff – 14/12/2025 – League
Home vs Haringey – 20/12/2025 – League + League Cup
Away at Chelmsford – 21/12/2025 – Eddie Joseph Memorial Cup
Hope to see some of you there!
Import Antonio strengthens the squad
Our new import Antonio Espinosa is sure to give the competition a scare when they see what he can do. Antonio spent his junior years in the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League, where he developed his natural talents. He’s represented his country 3 times and is over a point per game on the national stage. This will be Antonio’s first time playing league hockey in England and we think he’s going to be an amazing asset for the Lions.
“Antonio is a fantastic addition to the team,” said coach Simon Jones. “He has a fantastic attitude on and off the ice and I am sure he will be a leader in the room. I know that he is excited to get started and show what he can do at this level. I’m sure he will quickly make an impact and I am very pleased to have the opportunity to coach him.”
We’d also like to thank England Ice Hockey for helping us with registering Antonio for the 25/26 season.
Peterborough home game – change to face-off time
Our normal face-off time for home games is 5.30pm, but this Sunday’s game against Peterborough Phantoms 2 (26 October) will be starting 30 minutes earlier, at 5pm. Make sure you arrive in good time to catch all of the on-ice action.
Defence boosted by Jackson
Defenceman Sam Jackson signs for the Lions. After taking a year out of competitive hockey, the talented defenceman looks to make his mark on the roster.
“I’m delighted to add a player of Sam’s calibre to the team,” said coach Simon Jones. “Sam has been out with us a few times over the last year in between work commitments and has added quality each time. He is a puck-moving defender that will add to our attack whilst also being more than capable at shutting down opposition players.”
