Home of the Lee Valley Lions Ice Hockey Team
News of the 2013/14 season signings is beginning to arrive. In particular, we welcome Ben Osborne back to the Den. Ben was with the Lions in their first season back (2005/06) before moving to Chelmsford. It’s great to have Ben back, together with some familiar faces…

The funeral for Jordan, who sadly passed away last month, will be held on 19 August, leaving from from his home at 59 Coppetts Road, N10 1JH at 12.20pm.

Our schedule of games for the upcoming season have now been released. We open the season at home to Slough NIHL Jets on September the 7th. Other notable fixtures include the visit of league champions Oxford on November the 9th and the first North/East London derby since 2008 when the newly formed Haringey Racers come to the Den on the 25 of January 2014.
The full fixture list will be posted on the website shortly but for now, you can view them on Malcolm Preen’s unofficial EIHA website at Malcolm Preen’s website.
Ticket prices will remain the same this season. £5 for adults and £3 for children.
It is with great sadness that I announce that Lions’ player, Jordan Jones, passed away yesterday (16 July). Jordan was the eldest of five children and his grandfather, Dennis Jones, played a big part in both his upbringing and introducing him to ice hockey. Dennis was a short-track speed skating coach and started taking Jordan skating when he was only three years old. Jordan loved hockey very much and the family have been touched by people’s kind words.
Jordan was in Cyprus when he died, so his funeral arrangements have not yet been made. The family have said, however, that everyone who knew Jordan will be welcome to come along. As soon as I’ve been forwarded the details I shall post them on the site.
On behalf of everyone involved with Lee Valley Lions, we send our sincere condolences to Jordan’s family, friends and girlfriend.
Our trials for next season begin at the Den on Tuesday 2 July and continue every week until Tuesday 30th. The cost for the session is £10 per player and it runs from 8:15pm until 9:30pm.
