After stepping down from NIHL 1 for the 23/24 season, our #15 Zion Felician quickly became a trusted presence in defence.

We’re just as excited as you are to see what he does this season.

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Zion is an exciting talent and I am pleased he will be in a Lions jersey again this season.

He has excellent poise on the puck and is willing to get stuck in and do the hard work at both ends.

Zion will continue to be a key part of our group this season and will definitely be taking on a larger role, particularly on the powerplay unit.

Zion has the potential to be a standout for us this season and across the league.”

Solid blue line presence Sam Brazier returns for the 24/25 season.

It will be his 4th consecutive season with the Lions – welcome back Sam!

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “I’m really pleased to have Sam back for this season.

Since joining the team Sam has grown into a larger role at the top of the line up.

He is effective at both ends of the ice and still has room to grow, which I am sure he will this season.

Sam is very coachable and is always adding elements to his game.

I am confident he will take another step forward this season and contribute to success in all situations.”

British forward Seb Downing joins the Lions, adding a wealth of knowledge and talent from both NIHL 2, as well as NIHL 1 and Canada.

We can’t wait to see him in action away to Haringey on September 14th – see you there!

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Seb is a huge addition for us as a team.

He is a very strong player in terms of talent and another player that has played at a higher level.

Seb is capable of making an impact at both ends of the ice and having someone of his ability in the dressing room gives us a huge range of options.

Seb is happy to talk hockey with anyone and his hockey IQ will be invaluable for our younger guys on the team.

I’m looking forward to working with Seb and seeing him at work in a Lions jersey.”

#23 Joe Miller returns for what will be his 10th consecutive season in a Lee Valley jersey, from Under 15s all the way up to the senior team.

Welcome back Joe!

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Joe has been with the Lions for as long as I can remember and is certainly committed to the cause.

He is dedicated, hard-working and eager to contribute to the team’s success.

Joe has an uncanny ability to score goals at crucial times and I hope he continues to do that this season.

Joe has worked hard on his game in the last few years and I expect another step forward from him this season to make key contributions at both ends of the ice.”
