Hi All,
We all know that last season had its challenges, but thanks to everyone’s hard work and dedication, our leagues not only started but also successfully completed their seasons! The West League introduced a new Junior league across various age groups and a new C League, while the North West Rink organized an end-of-season nationals for the Senior A & B teams.
Amidst the recent rumours and uncertainty about the new season, we have some fantastic news to share. The league’s new committee has posted an update:
“Hi All,
We wanted to provide some clarity amidst the recent, negative rumours. Following the director of BRHA stepping down last season, the committee has decided to take this opportunity to reassess our direction. We will be discontinuing the BRHA brand and moving forward as the UK Inline Hockey Federation (UKIHF). Our focus will be on grassroots development, reinvesting in our communities, and ensuring transparency within the sport.
We appreciate your patience as we finalize the details. Registration will open soon, and I’ll keep you updated on the progress. Sportily is also being updated with new information. We’re excited for the 24/25 season and look forward to seeing everyone there!”
The Lions are proud to be part of this new era, which promises to be our biggest season yet! We will have teams in the Junior league for under 8s, 10s, and 12s, two teams in the West C league, one team in the North West B League, and one team in the North West A league. Additionally, we are excited to participate in the 2025 On The Rocks female tournament in Ireland this February, and our senior team is gearing up for an international tournament!
Inline hockey has faced challenges since the 2020 pandemic, but with the sport growing again, especially at the youth level, and the positive direction of the UKIHF, the future looks incredibly bright.
