At this year’s end-of-season presentation evening, Coaches’ Player of the Year was awarded to Shane Bojenko, while the winner of Players’ Player of the Year went to Calum Heath. Congratulations to you both and I hope to see you and everyone else icing for us again next season.

Use of game/player photos
I have no problem with current team members using my photos on Facebook etc, but if you are going to take them, please have the courtesy to put a link back to the Lions’ site. By doing that we can hopefully generate more interest in the team as a whole and I won’t have to start putting copyright notices on images – thanks.
Dave Richards leaves Lee Valley
I’m sorry to announce that Dave Richards Jnr has decided to leave Lee Valley Lions. One of our best points-scorers, he’ll be missed. Dave sends his best wishes to all the Lions’ players and fans and says he’s had a great part-of-a-season with the team.
Joe Berry returns
I’m pleased to announce that Joe Berry has decided to re-join the Lions and has asked to be released from Romford Fury. Hopefully everything will be completed soon and he will be able to start icing for us in January.
News including comings, goings, players & coaches
Lots of news to tell everyone today:
As everyone will be aware from my previous post, Coach Dave Richards is currently recovering from a heart attack and is awaiting surgery. While he is recuperating we need the services of a qualified Level 2 coach. If you are interested in helping us out, please call Eddie Joseph on 07958-743680.
We are also looking to strengthen our squad by signing one or two more forwards and a further import player. If you meet one of these criteria and would like a try-out, please call Eddie (details above).
One new signing is Kwabina Oppong-Addai, who makes a welcome return to the Den after icing for us back in 2005/6 and 2006/7.
Lastly, we bid a sad farewell to netminder James Tipple, who has made the reluctant decision to retire from ice hockey. James – everyone at the club wishes you the very best and if you ever change your mind, we’d love to have you back.
