We start our 25/26 season with the signing of NIHL1 import Vilius Krakauskas. He joins the Lions as our first import for the 25/26 season. After putting up over 100 points in NIHL1, the Lithuanian national looks to make his mark with the green and blue.
Coach Simon Jones commented, “The opportunity to sign a player of Vilius’ quality rarely presents itself and I am very excited about what he will bring to the team this season. In addition to bringing his obvious talent he has a wealth of knowledge to help the whole team grow. I am excited to work with such a high level of talent this season.”
