2024-25 Own and Loan Jersey Sponsorship details

After much demand, we can now confirm our jersey sponsorship details for the 2024-25 season.

A company or individual can sponsor one jersey (either home or away) for £70, or both jerseys of their chosen player for £120.

The chosen name will be announced as that player’s sponsor during pre-game announcements at home games; will be listed as that player’s sponsor in social media posts and on our website; and the sponsor will get to collect the jersey after the season is over.

Anyone interested in sponsoring a player’s jersey this season can contact us via the contact form on our website www.leevalleylions.co.uk or via any of our social media channels.

We’d also like to extend our gratitude to sponsors from last year who have already agreed to continue as sponsors this season – we value your support!

You can see a list of the available jerseys in the below graphic – “X” means the jersey is already taken.

Girard is a Lion again

After a year away, we’re delighted to welcome #19 Raphaël Girard back to the green and blue.

The Canadian forward played 2 seasons for us between 2021 and 2023, putting up 16 goals and 12 assists in total.

Welcome back Raph!

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “I am really pleased to have Raph back in the fold.

He was fantastic for us during his last spell with the team and offers a lot on and off the ice.

Alongside his obvious ability on the ice he is a great character in the dressing room and is a real team player.

I know a lot of teams would like to have him and I am very pleased he will be in a Lions jersey.”

Duarte back for a second season

Hard-working forward #11 Gabriel Duarte signs up for his 2nd season in the green and blue.

Welcome back Gabe!

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Gabe is an extremely hard worker and is eager to improve every area of his game.

He learnt a lot last season and I am sure he will continue this as we move through the 2024-25 season.

He works exceptionally hard and doesn’t allow opposition a moment of rest when he is on the ice.”

Contrary to Popular Belief, Williams is Green and Blue

Forward Ben Williams switches allegiances to become a Lion for the 24/25 season.

Welcome to our new #27!

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Ben came for a skate during the summer and I was very impressed with his poise and calmness on and off the puck.

Ben adds more depth to our team for the season and I am confident he will make a difference to how we compete each week.”
