Lions sign two new players
Lee Valley Lions are pleased to announce the signing of two new players to the squad. Tom Looker joins the team from the Romford Raiders. He is a fast, hard-working forward with plenty of English Premier League experience and is returning to hockey after a short break.
Kwabina Oppong-Addai joins from Haringey as a defenceman. Kwabina can also play as a forward should the need arise. He too has played in the EPL.
A team spokesman said, “These two players will increase the strength of the squad. Having players of their calibre with EPL experience who are willing to commit themselves to our team is a boost to the current players’ morale.”
Eddie plays again!
The Lions had a late-night scrimmage against some other players on 12th November and put plenty of goals in the back of the net in what was a useful training session. Back on the ice was none other than Eddie Joseph! Nice to see that Eddie’s still steady on his feet after all these years and he scored a few goals to boot.
Ben, Darren, Scott & Stefan ice for Edinburgh Capitals
Don’t panic, they’ve not left the Lions. Instead they dressed for the Edinburgh Capitals in their game against the London Racers at Lee Valley on 9th November. They didn’t actually get to play, but they were on the Capitals’ bench. Heather Osborne has given me some photos of the lads in their uniforms and I’ve now added them to the site.
Press release
The Lee Valley Lions are disappointed to announce that Graham Bellamy, Kevin Murphy and Owen Murphy have asked to be released from the team.
The main reason for asking for their release was the amount of travelling involved from where they live in Berkshire to Lee Valley for training and games. The club wishes them well, wherever they go.
