2009/10 league structure

Posted on by

I’ve received a few details about the way our league will be structured for the 2009/10 season. There will be 11 teams, including us, and every team will play a total of 20 games – 10 home, 10 away.

Haringey will join our league, alongside B teams from Chelmsford and Streatham. Bristol will not be in our league, but the Isle of Wight Raiders will be (they are coming down from the EPL).

The season will begin on 13 September but as yet we don’t have details of when our first game will be. As soon as I know the dates I’ll post them here.

Farewell to Sergei

After three seasons with the Lions, coach Sergei Smolenko has left the club. We thank Sergei for his dedication and commitment and wish him well for the future.

Oops, Nick deserves a mention too!

It’s been pointed out to me that Andrew Boot was, in fact, not the only Lion to have played every single game this season. Nick Alley also played every game. Sorry I missed you off, Nick. I think I missed a game out of his stats from the time he was due to have a game ban that ended up being revoked.

FAQs page

As I get so many people asking the same sort of questions a lot, I’ve decided to put the most frequently-asked ones on a dedicated FAQs page. If anyone contacts me with a question that has already been adequately answered on the site, the only reply I’ll give will be a link to the FAQs page. All other queries will be answered in full, as usual.

Andrew Boot deserves a mention

I think credit should be given to netminder Andrew Boot. Andrew, along with the rest of the team, went through some difficult times this season and sometimes faced a ridiculous number of shots. Andrew turned out to be the ONLY member of the squad who turned up to play EVERY single game, regardless of location or circumstances, and for that level of commitment he should be commended.
