Lions Inline Hockey Club would like to wish Oliver Gotts and the 2023 Elite British Select team the best of luck in Riga.
Oliver has been playing for Lions since he was an under 10 and playing for the senior Lions team in the BRHA North West and West Senior leagues for the 2023/2024 season. Oliver has always had a natural talent at playing hockey but most of all he has always taken in what he has been told by the coaches and players he has played with over the years especially when he is training with the senior players.
Oliver has also been giving his knowledge back to the club by helping teach our Junior and Women’s training sessions.
Everyone will be supporting you and the team but we are sure you will put in a hard worked performance in every game and fingers crossed you bring home some silverware.
This is the full Wild Lions training session from our Rink view camera setup.
This week Coach Olider lead the session with Coach James in between the sticks.
Over the last few weeks, both coaches have been working on the players shooting on goal with an active netminder. This week you could really see the improvements in everyone. Most players can now lift the puck and are now waiting for the keeper to commit to a save or looking for areas the keeper is not covering as well as picking up rebounds.
If you are looking for a new team to join or would like to try inline hockey for yourself then join us on a Monday 7:30pm until 9pm at Ardwick Sports Centre.
No experience or equipment is required. For more information see our website www.lionsihc.co.uk or email info@lionisihc.co.uk

Massive well done to Lions Under 16s team this weekend playing with 5 players plus a keeper, getting to the final where unfortunately they lost a very tight game 5 – 2, but even though they were gassed at the end they never gave up.
A.Rushby also took the most points award finishing on 38 with 21 Goals, 17 Assists.
Massive thanks to the parents for being the players down this weekend.
Shout out to Carl Dermott for running the bench and to Nicola Gotts for getting the team together for the season and the Nationals as without you two this weekend would have not been possible.
Also a big thanks to our Senior players and junior players who came down to support the team today and we can’t wait to see some of this team play with Senior Lions next season.
It’s been an amazing weekend of hockey at North West Roller Sports Rink and we are hoping that next season will be an even better one for the club as we enter more BRHA leagues.
In this week’s Wild Lions Women’s inline Hockey Training Oliver took the coaching spot and James went in goal.
The two coaches worked on shooting by getting the payers to look for gaps that keepers leave when moving and looking to lift the puck just over the leg pads and in between the blocker and catcher.
As is the school holidays Ellis joined the session again this week and wanted the camera to show his shooting on Daddy (Coach James) The drills were as follows:
53:10 – Figure of 8 with the puck make a pass to the coach and continue skating receive a pass and skate down the rink looking for a spot to score on the keeper
