Wild Lions’ Intensive Four-Game Match Day Review

The Wild Lions Inline Hockey Team participated in the latest BRHA West League match day this past Sunday. The day’s challenges were amplified by a rigorous schedule, requiring the team to compete in four games, two of which were against the top three teams in the league. Unfortunately, the team was already at a disadvantage with the absence of Caz, and the situation was further exacerbated by the loss of their leading goal scorer, Grace, due to an injury sustained in her Ice Games.

Confronted with a demanding lineup and a limited roster of six players, the league graciously permitted the enlistment of Andrew from the Lions Black squad. Andrew, noted for his significant progress in recent weeks and as one of the younger talents, was a welcome addition.

The first match against T-Wrex, although resulting in a 4-1 defeat, was approached with a positive spirit. The team’s commendable performance was reflective of their dedication to playing hockey with integrity and sportsmanship.

In the second game against Lycans, the Wild Lions faced a seasoned opponent. Despite a challenging first period that concluded with a 6-1 deficit, the team rallied in the second period, ultimately conceding only one additional goal for a final score of 7-1.

The third encounter pitted the team against Macclesfield White, a team that has demonstrated considerable growth over recent seasons. The match commenced competitively, with both teams exchanging numerous shots and blocks. However, the cumulative fatigue from prior games became evident, and Macclesfield White capitalized on this, securing an 8-1 victory.

The final game of the day, a rematch against Macclesfield White, saw the Wild Lions exert their remaining energy. Despite their valiant efforts, Macclesfield White prevailed with a decisive 12-0 win.

Despite the day’s outcomes, the Wild Lions have numerous positive takeaways. Notably, this was the first occasion the team scored in three consecutive games, an impressive feat considering the absence of their key player, Grace.

The team’s tactical development was also evident, with improved passing and the implementation of effective playing styles, particularly during breakaways.

The Wild Lions have shown remarkable improvement since the season’s commencement. The team’s participation is aimed at bolstering game day experience and competitiveness in preparation for the upcoming On The Rocks Tournament. The progress observed in each player’s performance is a testament to the efficacy of this approach.

Special gratitude is extended to Andrew for his last-minute involvement and for his positive feedback, expressing enjoyment and appreciation for the team’s unwavering optimism and camaraderie.

Looking ahead, the Wild Lions are set to return to action on May 5th. In the interim, training sessions will resume on Monday evenings from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm at Ardwick Sports Centre, with a focus on further enhancements to confront Lions Black & Raiders.

For those interested in inline hockey or seeking a team, the Wild Lions extend an invitation to join one of the five weekly training sessions. For additional information, please contact info@lionsihc.co.uk.

We are excited to offer a 2nd Lion Cubs training session each week

Lions are excited to announce we are going to be offering a new Lion Cubs Junior Inline Hockey Training session on a Monday Evening 6:30pm until 7:30pm at Ardwick Sports Centre.

Since we rebranded things at the club we have seen a massive uptake in new children trying out the sport but due to Wild Lions, Lions Black, Senior Lions and Manchester Roller Hockey Club having game days on a Sunday we have struggled to host our Sunday hockey classes.

With all adults who attended Sunday classes now attending at least one of our 3 Senior sessions a week we have decided to cancel this class and add a 2nd Lion Cubs Junior Training.

This new training session will take place every Monday night between 6:30pm and 7:30pm and will also be included in the £20 monthly fee or £8 per session.

Our 1st training will be on Monday 5th of February 2024.

We will still be hosting our Wild Lions and Senior Lions Training sessions after this as usual.

With this extra training session it means children will have the chance to join both junior sessions a week and we will always have coaches and rink time available.

If you would like to join us for the 1st time this Monday no booking, experience or equipment is required and the rink will be open from 6pm to give you enough time to get ready for the 6:30pm start time.

If you would like more information please email info@lionsihc.co.uk or drop us a message via one of our social media sites.
