Fans of the original Lions might be interested to know that import Barry Smith went on to an impressive coaching career and he is currently based at Swedish side, Modo. Mikael Uhlin, who runs a site about the former London Lions, has kindly sent me an article about Barry that featured in a Swedish magazine, together with an English translation. You can find it in the Team History section, here.

Lions achieve first win of the season
After last week’s draw against Cardiff Devils the Lions have gone one better and beaten Wightlink Tigers 5-4 to gain their first win of the season. Further details to follow…
Remembering Martin Berry…
I’ve been informed that a minute’s silence will be held at this weekend’s game against Chelmsford, in memory of Martin Berry, Joe’s father. Martin provided a lot of help and support to the club over the years and he sadly passed away earlier this year.
Match photos
Patrick Ayling and Beverly Irish kindly supplied me with photos from Saturday’s game against Slough, in which a presentation was also made to the family of Jordan Jones. Steve Grout has now also allowed me to feature some of his photos, so, to avoid confusion over copyright, I’ve created two albums, which you can see here and here. We can look forward to more photos from Pat during the course of the season. My thanks go to all three contributors.
Thanks from Jordan’s Grandfather, Denis
Saturday’s opening game of the season was dedicated to the memory of Jordan Jones and his Grandfather, Denis Jones, has written to express his thanks:
“Myself and the family would like to thank everybody at Lee Valley Lions for the wonderful tribute that you gave for Jordan, also for the support that you have given us in our sad loss. I will of course be coming to support the team for home games whenever I can.”
