Sponsored by Live Financial Mortgages Lee Hounslow returns to the green and blue after some time away from league hockey. The skilled defender will be looking to make his mark this season, continuing his point-per-game streak in NIHL2. 

Coach Simon Jones commented, “Having played with Lee a few years ago I was pleased when the opportunity to sign him came up. Lee is both hugely talented and experienced, which adds a lot to our roster on and off the ice. Lee has moved from forward to defence and brings a calmness on and off the puck that will be an asset to the team in all aspects of the game, but especially in transitions from defence to offence and the powerplay. Lee has already been contributing to the wider team, passing on advice and support. I know Lee is looking forward to getting back on the ice at this level and I am sure he will be a key player for us this year.”

 

Defender Matt Hamilton re-signs with the green and blue for 2025/26. Matt spent last season as team captain, this will be Matt’s 6th season with the Lions and we can’t wait to see what he does. Coach Simon Jones said, “Matt is returning again this season and I am very pleased to have him on board. He is another player with experience at a higher level that brings a sense of calmness to the ice. I am confident that this will be Matt’s best season in a Lions jersey.”

Sponsor a player’s shirt, get your name (and a link to your business, if applicable) shown as a sponsor on the Lions’ website and the player will, where possible, present the shirt to you at the end of the season. They’ll also sign it for you if you’d like! The cost is just £60 for your choice between a home or away shirt, or £100 if you’d like to sponsor both. Our current roster is shown here, but own and loan shirt sponsorship will be available for all future signings too, so keep an eye out .

 

Interested? Contact us via social media OR through our sponsorship page. Priority for specific shirts will go to whose who owned and loaned them last season, but other than that it is first come, first served!

A massive (hehe) welcome back to 6’9″ defender Dan Tamasauskas. Dan’s season was derailed by injury last year, so we can’t wait to see what the giant does now he’s back to fitness.

 

Lions’ coach Simon Jones said, “Daniel was held back by injuries last season and is lining up to have a big bounce back campaign. He has been working hard away from the ice and remains committed to his own development as well as the team pushing forwards. He has all the tools to dominate in his position in all situations and will continue to sharpen those tools this year.”

Carlton Witter returns for his second season in green and blue. Having joined the squad last season, he cemented his place in the team with his versatility of play and work ethic. We’re thrilled to have him back.

 

Coach comments: “Carlton really impressed me last season with his work ethic and versatility. He is calm and collected and has solid fundamentals. I’m expecting a big season this year from Carlton at both ends of the ice and look forward to him having a great impact on our season.”
