Lions partner Hockey Algeria

Posted on 12 December 2010 by Julianne

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.

2009/10 results page

Posted on 8 September 2010 by Julianne

Thanks to Tim Schofield and Marcus Hill for helping me find a list of our results from the 2009/10 season. The fixtureslive plugin that was on that page has now been replaced with the correct information. However, fixtureslive claims our last game (away to Streatham) resulted in a 0-0 draw, but I remember us losing so if anyone can remember the score, please let me know and I’ll update the table – cheers.

League update

Posted on 10 June 2009 by Julianne

There will now be 12 teams in our league, meaning we’ll play 11 home and 11 away games. Haringey will be staying in the other half of the league as another team could not afford to move up. Romford Spitfires are no more, but Romford Fury is filling the gap, managed by Mark Bidder.

2009/10 league structure

Posted on 28 May 2009 by Julianne

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.
