🦁✨ Our Under 8s showed incredible spirit, playing 4 games at the BRHA West Rink. Each match was a chance to grow, and our Cubs seized it with paws and claws! 🐾

Our Senior Lions roared through 3 challenging games. Despite a tough schedule and being short-handed, they displayed true teamwork and resilience. The highlight was a thrilling 4-4 draw against T-Wrex, where we led valiantly and showed our strength. 🏒

Special shoutout to our youngest keeper, just 6 years old, who played spectacularly, and to Ellis 40 for scoring his first goal to Millie on getting her 1st assist. You’re the pride of our pride! 🌟

We’re already buzzing with excitement to enter our own team in the league next session. The future looks bright with such talent and enthusiasm in our ranks. 🌈

Sunday’s games were a testament to our determination. Even against the odds, our Lions fought hard. We may have faced setbacks, but each game was a lesson learned and a step towards greater success. 💪

We’re setting our sights on the top 2 of the B West league, and with the grit we’ve shown, we’re ready for the challenge. Our young stars Alfie, Oliver, and Callum have shone brightly in the Senior games, proving they have what it takes to compete at the highest level. 🌟

A huge thank you to all the Parents and Players for your unwavering support. It’s your energy that fuels our passion and makes every game day a memorable one. Here’s to more fun, goals, and victories ahead! 🎉

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.
