Due to Manchester Roller Hockey Club hosting home league games this Saturday and Sunday we will not be hosting our Lion Cubs or Inline Hockey basic class this weekend.
Atherton Roller Rink is also hosting a beer festival all week so we will not be hosting our Thursday Night Senior training.
Both Monday Night Wild Lions and Senior Lions training sessions will be held as usual this week though.
In February we see the start of the BRHA Under 12s League where we will have 2 game game days on 3rd of February and 17th of February.
our Under 8s will also be back in action on 24th of February.
we have posted the fixtures in our team group but if you have missed this message and would like your children to play on any of them please send us a message or email info@inlinecoach
Tomorrow sees all 3 of our Senior teams take part in league games.
Lions are back in the North West League taking on Outlaws and raiders.
Lions Black play their 1st games together against Killa Wales, Wild Lions & Macclesfield White.
Wild Lions are also playing their 1st games of the season against Lions Black and Raiders.
We are looking forward to seeing who comes out on top between Lions Black and Wild Lions but we wish all of the teams playing tomorrow the best of luck.
2023 was a great year for Lions Inline Hockey Club where we had growth in all our teams.
Going into 2024 we now have the most members attending our sessions since the club was formed in 2014.
We do not want to stop there and in 2024 we are looking to get more keepers involved at the club as this is one area where the game is very short. To help with this we have managed to acquire full equipment for players who are Under 8, 12, and 16. So if you have ever wanted to be a keeper there is no better time to try, Coach James is also a netminder for the Senior Lions team.
We are also looking for a female keeper to join our Wild Lions Team and another Senior keeper to join our Lions Black team. We have a full kit that can be used for seniors and both teams are taking part in the BRHA West C League.
Training for both Wild Lions and Lions Black is on Monday evenings at 7:30pm and 9pm.
No experience or equipment is required.
We introduced our pay monthly for Ardwick training sessions at £20 a month for Junior and £25 a month for Senior players.
For 2024 we have introduced a £30 a month payment for our Atherton training sessions as well as a £40 payment option for any junior players who would like to have their own Lion Cubs Jersey and this also included the monthly training. Check out our Jersey page for what numbers have been taken so far.

Since the UK was 1st put into lockdown Inline Hockey in the UK lost alot of players and teams due to the sport only being able to reopen close to the end of the pandemic and with this Manchester lost its Junior League and we had to rebuild our Junior team again.
In 2023 we started to see things turn around with our numbers growing and more and more new children taking up the sport again.
This sparked BRAH West to look at getting more children on skates again and starting a Junior League. Lions have become a part of this and for the 2023/24 season, we have teamed up with Dundee Preditors, Newport Knights & T-Wrex to put in teams in the under 8s, 12s, 16s & 21s with the hope that all 3 teams can put a team in each for the 24/25 season.
This week we saw the start of the under-8s league where Lions took 3 players Milly, Saina & Ellis to play in the 1st set of games and we are hoping to take more in the new year.
Ellis wanted to put a camera on for a game and picked the 1st game of the day against an experienced Mooseheads team and this was his view of the game.
The final score 8 – 4 to Mooseheads but as this was the children’s 1st game together and quite a few 1st time they have played in a game this was a very good result. If you think your children would like to try inline hockey come and join our training session on a Saturday morning 10:30am until 12pm at Ardwick Sports centre.
No experience or equipment is required and the 1st two sessions are free. For more information email info@lionsihc.co.uk
This weekend we have moved our Lion Cubs Junior Training to Sunday 10:30am until 12pm at Ardwick Sports Centre and we will not be hosting the Hockey Basics class this weekend.
