Lee Valley Lions have secured the services of another netminder, Glen Jackson, who played for Streatham Redskins last season. He was in goal when the Lions faced the Redskins last December, facing 23 shots and conceding only 1. Glen will be joining existing netminders Stefan Nubert and George Alley for the Lions’ 2006/07 season.

Further trials dates and Lions sign first of new season’s players
Many thanks to everyone who came to the trials this week. Trials are going to continue for the next three Tuesdays, namely on 18th July, 25th July and 1st August. Everyone is welcome – both players who came along this week and anyone who hasn’t yet attended.
Please remember that if you’ve not already registered (ie you didn’t come along this week) you need to be at the rink for 7.30pm for registration. Ice time is 8.15-9.45pm and you need to bring £5 as a contribution towards ice time.
This week’s trials were well attended and there was a lot of positive feedback. Many decisions have yet to be made, but the following players have already signed for the Lions:
Nick Braithwaite

Scott Beeson
James Scott-Joseph

More names will be announced over the next few weeks.
Ian Courtney wins Stanley Cup
OK, not quite. Instead he won a draw to spend time at the NASN (North American Sports Network) offices and get his photo taken with the famous Stanley Cup. The cup was actually made in England and bought by Lord Frederick Stanley, who transported it to Canada. The cup (and its minders) visited London a few days ago, so Ian got the chance to get his hands on it.
Ian has given me the OK to feature one of his photos on the Miscellaneous photos page.
