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
Gennadi Yufit
Joe Berry
Jack Ball
James Hatfull
James Gosling
