The Lions open the 2012-13 season on Sunday the 2nd of September at home to Slough. Face off is 5.15 at the Ice Centre.
Michael Crosse joins the senior Lions
Michael Crosse, a talented member of the Under 18s team, is joining the Lions for his first season at senior level. Michael was his A-league team’s top goal and points-scorer last season. I’m pleased to say that Michael’s father, Simon Crosse, will also be coming on board, using his experience as a broadcast journalist to write match reports and add content to the Lions’ website.
More players return to the Den
I’m pleased to announce that Scott Beeson has signed up for another season with the Lions, as has Romanas Fedotovas. Calum Heath has decided to play for Streatham this season and we wish him well at his new club.
Rule changes this season mean we can only have one import. You can see the EIHA rules of competition here: http://www.eiha.co.uk/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Ca96FOaJC7w%3D&tabid=80&mid=3333.
Latest signings
This week we have signed Jordan Jones and welcome back Lions’ regular, Richard Hodge. A further five names are in the pipeline and hopefully I’ll be in a position to unveil the names next week.
2012/13 Fixtures
The fixtures for the 2012/13 season are on the EIHA’s website, so I have posted them onto the Fixtures & Results 2012/13 page using the Fixtures Live plugin. At the moment it’s showing both last season’s results and the forthcoming season’s fixtures, but hopefully someone in the company will correct this.
Our first home home game will be on 2 September, against Slough Jets, with Wight Link away the following week. As some of you know, I have moved away from London so won’t be taking photos or writing match reports this season. If you would like to volunteer to do either of these, please let me know and I will forward your offer to the team’s management. I started this website back in 2001 and will be continuing as normal. I look forward to seeing the Lions on the road in places closer to my new home, eg Cardiff and Bristol.
