Under 9s: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM Our Under 9s sessions cover all the basic skills required to grasp playing the sport.
Over 10s: 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM For the Over 10s, we work on basic hockey skills to help progress Junior players into senior-level players.
The first two sessions are free! After that, it’s just £20 for a monthly subscription or £8 per session on a pay-as-you-train basis. Our sessions are held at Ardwick Sports Centre (M12 4DY), and no equipment is required.

Training Session: Sunday Night Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Location: Atherton Roller Rink
We’re looking for netminders at a rookie level, aged 4 and above, to join our training session. A full kit is required. Don’t miss this chance to step up your game!
Thursday Night Training: This week, our Thursday night training is a closed session for our West League and Atherton A League members. We’re having a friendly match with the PreDADtors as both teams gear up for the league start this month.
Sunday Night Training: We’re also hosting our Sunday night Lions Black and Wild Lions training at Atherton Roller Rink. Although this session has been bustling the past few weeks, one of our netminders is unable to make it. If any netminders are looking for an extra session, please drop us a message.
Join Our Teams: We’re looking for a few more players to join our Wild Lions Women’s teams. The Lions Black team is stacked this season, but we’d love to add more female players to join the team and participate in both the West C and North West B League. We’re seeking players who are at least a C level standard with game experience and will fit in well with our current players. If you’re interested or want more information, please send us a DM or email info@lionsihc.co.uk.
Training Times: Our Sunday training sessions are from 7 PM to 8:30 PM at Atherton Roller Rink. The cost is £10 per session.
November has been a bustling month for the Lions Inline Hockey Club! Here’s a roundup of the exciting changes and updates:
Training Session Updates
Due to the growth of our junior members, we’ve made some adjustments to our training sessions.
We’ve cancelled the Saturday Lion Cubs training due to the Junior league starting, with most games scheduled on Saturdays.
To accommodate this, we’ve introduced two new junior sessions on Mondays:
Under 9s Training: 6:30pm – 7:30pm
10s and Over Training: 7:30pm – 9:00pm
With over 30 junior members, these sessions now cater to different skill sets for each age group.
Merging Sessions
Our Lions Black and Wild Lions sessions have merged and now take place at Atherton Roller Rink on Sundays from 7:00pm – 8:30pm.
This decision allows us to have two keepers at the session and work on a variety of drills, unlike at Ardwick Sports Centre.
Due to this change, we will no longer allow complete beginners, and all players must own their equipment.
Future Plans and Pricing
We’ve secured the rink to help improve our younger players. Once they reach the age of 14, they can join our Sunday or Thursday sessions.
Depending on the availability of players, we will use the Sunday session for either senior or junior training.
In December, we will introduce a few changes to our pricing:
Seniors: £30 per month for league registered players or £10 per session for none registered players. If a player pays £30 for Atherton and joins an additional session, there’s no extra charge.
Juniors: £20 per month or £8 per session. No extra charges for sessions at Atherton rink.
Riverside Raiders: £65 per month or £30 for two weeks.
Summer Training Schedule
Monday Night Junior Lion Cubs:
6:30pm – Under 9s
7:30pm – Over 10s at Ardwick Sports Centre
Tuesday Night Riverside Raiders Ice Hockey Training:
We wish all our Lion Cubs the best of luck at the Toxic UK Hockey Tournament tomorrow at the Bench Buddy Arena in Rotherham. This is going to be an incredible experience for all the under 10s and 12s players involved. Each player will receive a jersey and there will be lots of prizes given out throughout the day. Most importantly, it’s a fantastic opportunity for more rink time and fun for all the kids!

Training Session: Tonight, 9pm – 10:30pm

Cost: £10 per player

We’re planning to keep tonight’s session on for now. However, if it starts to snow, we may need to cancel. Where I live, we tend to get heavy snowfall (last year I got caught out during a training session). If you live in an area prone to heavy snow, please don’t attempt to come to training if it snows.
I will monitor the weather until 5:30pm and will post here to confirm if the session is on or not. So far, it looks OK until around 10pm.
Our coaches faced a delightful dilemma this October and ended up choosing double the fun for our Player of the Month awards. Clovis & Carson, our dynamic duo, have earned this title together!
These incredible brothers joined the Lion Cubs just 3 months ago, stepping onto the rink with very little skating experience. But in this short time, they have become exceptional listeners and fearless competitors in our practice games.
Though they might not always have the puck, Clovis and Carson are relentless in their pursuit to win it back. They dive into tackles without a second thought and, no matter how many times they tumble, they bounce right back up as if nothing happened.
Keep up the fantastic work, Clovis and Carson! We’re incredibly proud of your progress and can’t wait to see what you achieve next.
