It was another action‑packed league weekend for Lions Inline Hockey Club, with both Lions Senior and Lions Black teams taking to the rink and showcasing the depth, resilience, and progress across the club.
Lions Senior – West A/B League Round Robin
The Lions Senior team were in fine form as they battled it out in the West A/B League Round Robin, playing three high‑intensity games and coming away with three well‑earned wins:
Lions 9 – 3 Knights
Lions 15 – 7 Raptors
Lions 8 – 7 Mooseheads – a thrilling, nail‑biting finish sealed with just 3 seconds left on the clock
A perfect day on the scoreboard and a huge statement from the senior squad as they continue to push hard in a highly competitive league
Lions Black – Final North West League Game Day
For Lions Black (pictured above), this weekend marked their final game day of the North West League season — a season that proved challenging both on and off the rink.
Stepping up from West D League to compete at this level was no small task, and league challenges added to the difficulty. Despite this, the team showed incredible commitment, managing to secure a league win and pushing every opponent, keeping scores close in the majority of games.
Although Lions Black will not be returning to this league next season, the group stayed together, pushed themselves, and successfully raised their level to compete in a strong C League environment. The experience gained this season will be invaluable as the team continues to develop.
Looking Ahead
As we leave this weekend behind, attention now turns to another exciting stretch of hockey:
Under‑14s Lion Cubs head into their Nationals Day next Saturday
Lions Senior return for their final North West League game day, pushing hard for a 2nd place finish
