Home of the Lee Valley Lions Ice Hockey Team
Just a quick reminder to everyone, players and fans alike, that the Lions are holding their end-of-season presentation evening this Saturday, 18 May, from 7.30pm at the Hare & Hounds pub at 287 Lea Bridge Road, E10. The Junior teams’ presentations will be held the following day at Lee Valley Ice Centre from 5pm to 8pm.
Beverly Irish has kindly provided me with some photos that she took from the last game of the season, when the Lions played Basingstoke Buffalo at home. They’re shown in the Photos section of the site. Many thanks to Beverly for sending the photos to me.
Thanks to Greg Armstrong for pointing me in the direction of an article written by Romford player, Sam Park, in which he summarises the NIHL South 2 season and writes kind words on the Lions in the last couple of paragraphs. The article is on the Pro Hockey News website.
Lee Valley Lions’ summer practice sessions will double-up as try-outs and start on Tuesday 7 May, running throughout the summer. The sessions are from 8.15pm to 9.30pm and the cost towards ice time is £10 per player. Please note that these sessions are open only to all senior players (not juniors).
Bob Mitura has uploaded the second part of his video clips of what turned out to be an Autumn Trophy game that the Lions played against Medway Bears on 2 October 1988, winning 12-11. It’s on Bob’s Facebook page, in the History section of this site and here:
