Due to a clash with ice schedules, the UKIHF Junior League has transformed this week’s league day into an Iron Man 3vs3 Tournament between 6 teams! 🎉
Event Details:
Start Time: 9am
Activities:
Short training session
Scrimmage to seed players into ability groups
3vs3 tournament with teams picked from each seeding group
This will be a fantastic experience for all the players involved, offering a fun twist on the game with 3vs3 play instead of the usual 4vs4. We can’t wait to see how our Lion Cubs players perform! Regardless of the results, this event is all about gaining more game day experience, having fun, and making new friendships and memories. 🏒✨
Just a quick update to let you know that this Sunday’s Hockey Hustlers training session is closed to only game-registered Lions Black and Wild Lions players. We’re hosting a friendly game against Macclesfield Blue.
We should be back to our normal training schedule next Sunday if the rink reopens in time after the beer festival takes over the venue for the week.
Anyone is welcome to come down and watch the game as the bar will be open for drinks and snacks. If you’re interested in joining any of our future training sessions, drop us a DM on any of our social media pages or email info@lionsihc.co.uk.
Let’s cheer for our Lion Cubs Under 8s team as they take on the Predators, Mooseheads, and Knights in the UKIHF West Junior League this Saturday! It’s going to be an exciting day, especially since it’s the first game day for a few of our young players. It’s amazing to see more children stepping onto the rink!
If you’re thinking about getting your children into hockey, why not bring them down to our Rookie Cubs or Lion Cubs training on Monday evenings at Ardwick Sports Centre? For more information, send us a message via DM or email info@lionsihc.co.uk.
We are excited to launch the first video in our series showcasing our netminders from both the Lions Inline Hockey Club and Raiders Ice Hockey Club. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing footage from all 5 of our training sessions where our netminders wore head-mounted cameras, giving you a unique view of the game from a keeper’s perspective.
Our first video features Henry at this Sunday’s Lion Hockey Hustlers training, where we held a scrimmage session. Although this was a senior training session for C and B League players, we also welcomed under 16 players looking for more experience. Henry, who doesn’t play for the Lion Cubs but is friends with Ellis, joined the session. His mum, Emma, has recently rejoined both our Hockey Hustlers and Senior Lions sessions to get back into the sport and asked if Henry could come along and train.
This video provides an inside look at the game through the eyes of a junior player and showcases how athletic children can be. Henry made some amazing saves during the session and even demonstrated some of the stretches he does before games to our other keepers. Let’s just say, they showed their age trying to keep up!
The camera did slip down at one point, giving us a unique view of Henry’s hand and feet movements. There is also a great section where Henry gives an update on how he and his mum are getting on in the session.
A massive well done to Henry for stepping up and managing to play 40 minutes—an impressive feat for a child his age.
If you or your little one would like to try going in goal or as a player, drop us an email at info@lionsihc.co.uk.
We’re excited to announce that the Wild Lions Women’s inline hockey team has a few player spots left, including a keeper position, for the On The Rocks Women’s Tournament held at Market Drayton Roller Rink on the 28th and 29th of June 2025! The cost is approximately £25 per player, based on last year’s fee.
