Goalie tandem complete

Posted on by

We are thrilled to announce the signing of 23-year-old Lewis Carter from the NIHL1 Invicta Dynamos. Lewis has spent his whole career with Invicta, coming up through their junior system and now jumps ship to the Lions.
 
Coach Simon Jones had this to say about the latest signing: “Lewis worked hard during the trials this summer and made an impression with his attitude and ability. He is extremely positive and passionate about the game. I’m sure he will work well in tandem with Ethan and develop his game as we move through the season.”

Another returns to the Den

Zion joined the Lions in the 23/24 season from NIHL1 and quickly became one of the team’s best defender prospects. Last season was derailed with injuries, so we are so excited to see him back to fitness.
 
Coach’s comments: “Zion is a solid player that has huge potential to be one of the best defenders in NIHL 2. He is quick, has solid fundamentals and is not afraid to do the hard work in the corners. Last season was a bit disrupted for Zion with one or two injuries, so I am looking forward to seeing him take a big step forward this season.”

A return for Tajah Allen

Fan favourite Tajah Allen re-signs for the 25/26 season. Last season was a great year for Taj, with 16 points over the season and cup (including a crazy 5-goal game). How many he will get this season?
 
Simon, Lions’ coach said: “Tajah brings speed and a fearless attitude to every game. Tajah took on a larger role last year and I believe he can be a regular contributor at both ends of the ice this season. I know that Tajah is driven to be the best player he can be and I am sure he will continue to grow this season.”

Kobe’s back for more

Young talent Kobe Grinell-Parke re-signs with the Lions for the 25/26 season, looking to hone his natural talent while on a two way with Romford Buccaneers NIHL1. He showed real promise last year and we can’t wait to see what he does this year.
 
Coach’s comments: “I’m delighted to have Kobe on board again this season. Kobe works exceptionally hard and is extremely coachable. As well as this he brings a lot of quality to the line-up. I’m expecting a lot from Kobe this season and I know he will do all he can to push on and be a difference-maker in NIHL2.”

He’s back…

Everyone’s favourite forward, Seb Downing, re-signs with the Lions for the 25/26 season. 
Seb spent a couple years in NIHL1 as well as a year in Canada and he looks to build on the promising start he had with the Lions last season.

Coach Simon Jones commented: “Seb joined us last season and had an instant impact both on the ice and in the changing room. Seb was a big part of our team last season and adds more skill and depth to the roster this year.”
