(Yes, we know it’s a little late… but better late than never! 😉)
A huge congratulations to Leo Hirst-Jones, our October Player of the Month! 🎉
Leo has shown massive improvements both on and off the rink over the past few months. Known as a quiet player, Leo has recently stepped up his confidence – even cheekily telling Coach James that football is better than hockey (we all know that’s not true 😜).
With this new confidence, Leo has been taking on players fearlessly, going in hard on tackles, and showing a great understanding of positioning. His progress hasn’t gone unnoticed – all our coaches and teammates agree that Leo truly deserves this recognition.
Well done, Leo! We can’t wait to see how much more you improve throughout the season. Keep smashing it! 💪🔥

What a day for our Cubs! Two tough games, two huge learning experiences, and plenty to celebrate.
Game 1 vs Predators We knew this would be a challenge – a team stacked with experience against our Cubs, many playing up an age group. But wow, did they deliver! The focus was on keeping that defensive box shape we’ve been working on, and they nailed it. Most shots came from distance and the sides, and our netminder Lottie was outstanding – facing around 50 shots and only conceding 8 goals. Incredible effort! 👏
Game 2 vs Tricksters This one was all about team play and game control. The rule was simple: score a goal, then you must assist before scoring again. It made for an exciting, tactical match where everyone contributed. The Cubs showed brilliant teamwork, breakout play, and learned what it means to win as a team rather than relying on one or two players. 💪
Special Shoutouts 🏅 Players’ Player: Lucas – chosen by Lottie for never giving up, staying positive, and being a fantastic team player. 🏅 Coaches’ Player: Lottie – for her incredible performance against Predators and keeping her focus in Game 2. 🔥 Big cheers to Toby for his first game day with the U14s – and bagging his first goal AND assist of the season!
Massive respect to every single player today – you showed grit, teamwork, and Lion spirit! 🦁
After a phenomenal 2024/2025 season—taking home the B Nationals title, winning the West B League, and battling it out in the North West A League—our Lions Senior North West & West team is ready to push even harder this year. 💪
But as life moves on and players move on or retire, we’re on the lookout for 2–3 experienced players to join our hockey family. We kicked off the North West League last weekend with a tough game against the Jesters—just 5 players on the day, and despite a valiant effort, we couldn’t hold them off. But the spirit is high, and we’re back at it this weekend facing Vanguard and Zombies in the round robin.
We’re aiming for an A League finish—and we want YOU to be part of it.
🔍 Who we’re looking for:
Players with Higher B or A league experience
A positive team-first attitude
100% effort—no matter the score
Commitment to Thursday night training at North West Roller Sports, Atherton (9–10:30pm)
💷 What you get:
All training and league games
Nationals (if qualified)
End-of-season awards night
All for just £45/month
We’re serious about our hockey, but we’re also a tight-knit squad that supports each other on and off the rink. If you think you’ve got what it takes and want to be part of something special, drop us a DM or email info@lionsihc.co.uk and come down to a Thursday session to see if it’s a good fit.
