We’re delighted to announce the re-signing of defenceman Lee Hounslow for his second consecutive season in a Lions uniform, and third overall.

Lee originally played for the Lions in the 2016-17 season as a forward, before taking some time out of league hockey.

He returned to Lee Valley last season as a defenceman, and impressed with his veteran leadership and strong performances – he’ll look to bring the same this season as well.

Lions head coach Simon Jones said: “Lee joining last year was a huge positive for us and I am very pleased that he has come back for this season. Lee brings bags of experience and ability as well as leadership on and off the ice. He was one of our top performers last season and I know he has been working hard this off-season in order to maximise his impact. I’m looking forward to working with Lee again this year and benefiting from his input as well as his performances.”
