Home of the Lee Valley Lions Ice Hockey Team
My thanks go to Dave Craig for bringing me some great stats that his Dad, Roy, has put together about the original Lions team. I’ll be adding everything to the site as soon as I have the time, but did you know that…
*Chris Leggatt topped the list of British scorers, with 127 goals?
*Charlie Colon, Mike Urquart, Shannon Hope and Luc Chabot made appearances for the Lions?
*We played Medway Bears in 43 games and only won 9 of them?
The Lee Valley Lions are pleased to announce the signing of 27-year-old Hungarian forward, Matyas Vas. Matyas will be making his debut tomorrow at Peterborough. More details will be posted as soon as I have them.
Jenny Malyon of the Chelmsford Chargers kindly sent me a couple of old hockey magazines that featured some articles and photos of the original Lions team.
I’ve added 4 PDFs to the Magazine Articles section of the Lions in Print page on the History part of the site (part of the original Lee Valley Lions Nostalgia Site). Thanks to Jenny for her contribution.
The Junior Lee Valley Lions had their Christmas party at the rink on 21st December. There were about 16 from the ED1 Lions and while the Juniors skated they played a quiz in the bar. The £20 prize was won with a fair amount of help from the Manager!
The signed Lions shirt was auctioned for £60 and as a group everyone from the ED1 team sang a very rousing and loud Day Dream Believer in the karaoke!
Eddie sang a couple of numbers and demonstrated hitherto hidden talent, so the next series of X-Factor had better watch out!
Thanks to Heather for the info!
Brief details on what ex-Lions imports Anders Bach and Mark Harding are up to these days have been added to the Where Are They Now? page. I hope to have some more info about Anders shortly. Mark contacted me himself and it turns out he’s a fellow drummer, so I’ve included a link to his band’s site.
