Today sees the Lee Valley Lions back in action against Slough for their first game of the 2013/14 season. Gary Dodds returns as Coach, while Tina Ball is the new Manager. Good luck to all the players for today and throughout the upcoming season.
“The only way is up” Pro Hockey News article
Dave Carr has written a great article about the Lions on Pro Hockey News, featuring a particular contribution from netminder Aaron Mallett. Make sure you pop over and give it a read.
Likely to be signing…
Added to the players already announced so far we should soon be securing the services of ex-Lions captain, Nick Alley, together with Max Gerstain (from Chelmsford) and Adrian Woodyard. I hope to be able to confirm these names shortly.
Photos from Jordan’s funeral
It was Jordan Jones’ funeral on Monday 19 August and members of the Lee Valley Lions Ice Hockey Club joined his family and friends to pay their last respects. The club provided flowers bearing the team’s name and Jordan’s team shirt/helmet travelled with him. A few pictures from the day have been sent to me by Beverly Irish for the benefit of those who were unable to attend. You can see them on their gallery page.

More familiar faces have returned to the Den for the 2013/14 season, namely Ashlee Cave (who left the Lions to play for Chelmsford) and Gennadi Yufit (who’d been with Streatham), together with some regulars. This week I’m pleased to announce the following signings:
Ashlee Cave
