Use of game/player photos

I have no problem with current team members using my photos on Facebook etc, but if you are going to take them, please have the courtesy to put a link back to the Lions’ site. By doing that we can hopefully generate more interest in the team as a whole and I won’t have to start putting copyright notices on images – thanks.

Dave Richards leaves Lee Valley

I’m sorry to announce that Dave Richards Jnr has decided to leave Lee Valley Lions. One of our best points-scorers, he’ll be missed. Dave sends his best wishes to all the Lions’ players and fans and says he’s had a great part-of-a-season with the team.

Joe Berry returns

I’m pleased to announce that Joe Berry has decided to re-join the Lions and has asked to be released from Romford Fury. Hopefully everything will be completed soon and he will be able to start icing for us in January.

Lions partner Hockey Algeria

Lee Valley Lions have entered into a partnership with Hockey Algeria, revolving around mutual publicity for the two teams. The aim is to introduce Algerians in the UK to ice hockey, providing youngsters with the opportunity to get involved and learn how to play.

Algerian player Karim Kerbouche iced for the Lions in the 09/10 season and with this partnership we expect more Algerian players to sign in the future.

There are tentative plans for exhibition games between Team Algeria and Lee Valley Lions, but this will depend on approval being obtained from the English Ice Hockey Association. Should the games gain approval, they will be announced here and on the Hockey Algeria site.
