Our Wild Lions Inline Hockey Team has had an incredible first season! Despite picking up only 2 points, the team received glowing feedback from other teams on their improvements and playing style. 🏒

In the 2023/2024 BRHA West C league, the Wild Lions adopted a compact defense strategy, aiming to concede fewer goals while enhancing their attacking play. And guess what? It worked! As the season progressed, they spent less time defending and more time creating scoring opportunities. 🥅

Dani led the goal-scoring charge with 5 goals, while Claire and Frase tied for second place with 2 goals each. Grace and Sammy topped the assists chart with 2 each. 🙌

Big shout to Molly who only started playing inline hockey a few months ago and made her debut on Sunday have an excellent defensive game and even found herself on the score sheet.

🏆 The Lions Senior Team has not just played the game; they’ve redefined it, clinching the coveted top spot of the BRHA North West League with a jaw-dropping 21-0 victory over the Outlaws and an impressive 11-3 win against the Raiders.

🌟 This season was a showcase of sheer determination and skill, with every player leaving an indelible mark on the rink. In their debut senior league season, Oliver and Alfie have been nothing short of sensational, seamlessly blending with the team’s dynamic and racking up points that defy their rookie status. Alfie, our defensive dynamo, closed the season with a stellar 26 points (6 goals, 20 assists), while Oliver, the assist maestro, amassed a whopping 39 points (17 goals, 22 assists), including an assist that will be etched in the annals of the season as the most ingenious.

🥅 Jack, our scoring sensation, topped the charts with an astonishing 86 points, finding the net 64 times and setting up 22 goals. Gaz followed suit with a commendable 51 points, and Jamie wasn’t far behind, contributing 44 points to the team’s tally.

💪 But make no mistake, this was a team effort through and through. Every player stepped onto the rink with a winner’s mindset, contributing to the scoreboard and crafting plays that turned into assists. This synergy has culminated in one of the most complete team performances in any league season.

👏 We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the players for their unwavering commitment, the referees for their fair play, and the BRHA staff for orchestrating a seamless season.

🔜 Looking forward, the Lions are set to make their mark in the 2024 Nationals. And that’s just the beginning. The next challenge? The BRHA North West A League in the 2024/2025 season. We’re ready to elevate our game and roar louder than ever!

This Sunday marked a significant moment for Lions Black as they returned to the BRHA West C League. The game was not just any other match; it was the debut of Jon, our new goalie, guarding the pipes with determination, and Ian, who played his first games with the vigor of a seasoned pro.

Despite being short-benched and missing a few key players, the team’s spirit never wavered. Their resilience shone through, displaying a marked improvement from the season’s start. The first game against T-Wrex began slowly, but as the minutes ticked by, the team found its rhythm. A strategic timeout in the last 10 minutes was the catalyst they needed, sparking a synergy that translated into creating chances and a stronger offensive front.

The second game saw a more robust start from the players, culminating in a more cohesive team performance. Although eight goals slipped past in the first period, the team regrouped and fortified their defense, allowing only three in the second. Their efforts in maintaining clear sightlines for the goalies and covering the center of the goal were commendable.

The standout player of the day was Sam, whose growth throughout the season has been nothing short of remarkable. As the youngest member of Lions Black, he has not only shown massive improvement but also an inspiring surge in confidence. Sam’s prowess was on full display as he carried the puck up the rink, weaving through opponents and fortifying our defense. His efforts were rewarded with his first senior goal—a solo endeavor that began in our half and ended with a successful shot on goal.

Witnessing the team’s evolution over the season has been a thrilling journey. With new players joining our Monday night sessions, we’re excited to field a larger squad next season and anticipate even greater strides in their development.

For those interested in being part of our 2024/2025 journey, we invite you to our training sessions at Ardwick Sports Centre, every Monday from 9 PM to 10:30 PM. No equipment or prior experience is necessary to get started. For more information, please email info@lionsihc.co.uk or send us a direct message on our social media platforms.
