Our open training sessions will be starting again on Tuesday 12 June and will be running each Tuesday from 8.15 – 9.30pm. Please note there is a charge of £10 per session.  Sessions were originally starting on 5 June but that day is a Bank Holiday, so please note this change.

While all are welcome to the open training sessions, we will be selecting players for the 2012/13 season each Tuesday in July and from August onwards the sessions will be for team members only.

I’ve just received the news that Lions’ #26, Richard Hodge, became a father to a 7lb 8oz baby boy named Blake at 9.25am today. Congratulations from everyone at the club to Richard and his partner, Sarah.

Streatham player, Dave Carr, has written a great article about Blair’s departure from Lee Valley and his time with other clubs in British hockey. You can find it at on the Pro Hockey News website.

On behalf of everyone involved with the Lions, I would like to say a massive thanks and farewell to our coach and team captain, Blair Dubyk.

Blair has made the decision to relocate back to his native Canada and he will be sorely missed at the Den. Under his leadership the Lions have seen definite, marked improvement and have had some great games over the past two seasons, including some shock results (I don’t think anyone would have predicted a 12-1 win over Bristol, for a start).

The Canadian National Anthem was played before last night’s match and Blair received the send-off he deserved over at the Princess of Wales pub afterwards.

Farewell, Blair, have a safe flight home and thanks so much for everything you have done for our team.
