Player Cam Teddy (Aged 4) at Everyone Inline Hockey Class on 23/07/23

Teddy joined our Everyone Inline Hockey Clas on Sunday putting skates on for only the 2nd time and trying hockey for his 1st time.

Although Teddy was a little nervous at the start of the class he was full of confidence by the end.

This video is the full class from the view Teddy had as he wanted to show everyone his experience via our player came.

Teddy went from wanting Coach James to hold his hand to telling him to go away he can do it himself.

There were plenty of falls and missed swipes at the puck but the giggles in everything he did shows how exciting and fun the sport can be even at the age of 4.

Lions would like to say a big well done to Teddy for being so brave to try the sport out of the 1st time and showing massive improvement in just 1 session we hope to see you back with us very soon and joining in with the other children taking part in drills.

If you think inline hockey could be a sport your children would enjoy then come and join our Lions Junior training session on a Saturday or our Sunday Everyone Inline Hockey Class at Ardwick Sports Centre both at 10:30am until 12pm.

No experience or equipment is required as we teach children basic skating and stick-handling skills.

Children’s 1st two sessions are also free and just £5 a session after this. We also offer children the chance to take part in-game days and hockey is also a great way to make new friendships.

For booking see our events page (Events are posted each Tuesday evening for the week) or for more information send us a message via our Contact Us page.

Changes to our weekend classes

We started 2023 trying to get more adults and children playing inline hockey and we have slowly been building our session with new players.

With our Saturday and Sunday hockey classes growing we have now decided to bring back our Junior training session on a Saturday morning. This training session will be for children aged 4 to 16 with children aged 14 and up being offered to train with our senior team on a Thursday evening.

Lions Sunday session will stay the same where we will still host an Everyone Class to help everyone grasp the basics of inline hockey and welcome children and adults of all ages to this group with a split in ability. We will also be looking to review this class in the next 3 months and make changes if required.

With the changes, we are also having to change the prices of adults attending the session due to the cost of things at the moment. For adults attending our Everyone Inline Hockey class, this will now be £8 per person. Still, we will be keeping junior prices at £5 per person.

Prices will also include the use of any of the club equipment if any is required.

With the price changes we are also looking at a monthly ticket to help everyone save a little bit of cash but we will review this at the end of August if we are in a position to make this offer.

With the plans above we are also looking to offer junior players the chance to play league games and cup competitions again for the 2023/24 season at the BRHA West League rink in Market Drayton.

We are also looking at entering a C League team in the BRHA West League so if anyone is looking to get into the sport and would like to challenge themselves to league games then please let us know and we can add your name to our list.

Wild Lions will also have more game days in the 2023/24 season and we will announce more once we have things in place. We still have places left for this team if anyone is looking to join and have game days.

Senior Lions are also looking to take part in the BRHA North West League this season as well as our usual West League and we are close to being full but if you are looking for a team to join in the North West or West Leagues please contact us to put your name down.

If anyone would like any more information please contact us via our contact us page.

Wild Lions secure their highest finish at On The Rocks

We are proud of everyone who played for Wild Lions this weekend at on the rocks and even going into Sunday a player down due to injery, Our players stuck to the game plan and secured 6th spot by grinding out a 1 – 0 win in the last league game againt Lycans. This lifted us to 6th spot and a game vs Angels in the 5th vs 6th final.

Unfortunately due to the everyone giving everything all weekend this game againt Angels finished 6 – 0 to Angels, as everyone was out of energy but we take nothing away from the achievement of everyone who played for Wild Lions this weekend.

Maddy was solid inbetween the pipes all weekend and gave amazing guidence to everyone all weekend and kept a shutout in our last league game but was also close to another one againt Angels.

Our last minute replacement Grace (who stepped in for Caz who could not make the weekend) was again amazing with everyone giving them advice when on the benches and on the rink. Grace had an amazing attitude all weekend and put an amazing effort in never giving up on any play.

Fiona was as ever the life and soul of the team on the rink giving everyone encouragement and laughter especially the moment she feel over inbetween play after a cheeky move that was not seen by the refs. 🤣🤣 Finona also got 2 goals this tournament and in her own words she never scores.

Nicola was again positive in every situation and giving advice to everyone, she gave everything when on the rink as was unlucky not to get a goal but she did not stop trying all weekend even when things did not quite go her way.

Claire grew into the tournament and as this was only the 2nd time of playing in a competitive games she was showing a massive improvement and got stuck in chasing back and looking for breakaways.

Sammy pushed her self on again this year making some important blocks and tackles throughout the weekend. As the tournament went on found her feet and starting to carry the Puck forward and pressed in the opposition half.

Danny M (Coach Danny) Gave everything again for the team and even though she found herself having to play in defence after losing a player Danny kept her shape at the back and even got a goal in our 2 – 2 game on the Saturday.

Greta was her usual bubbly self when on and off the rink and another player taking part in on the Rocks for the 1st time, but showed improvement through each game she played in giving 100% each shift.

Danny T unfortunately had her tournament cut short due to an injery picked up in the 3rd game but Danny was just starting to get into the swing of things holding the Puck up at the boards and using her strength to win the puck. This was also her 1st tournament as a player. We wish Danny a speedy recovery and hope to she her back at training soon.

We would like to thank all the players who took part in the tournament for Wild Lions, as well as everyone who came down and supported the team.

We would like to thank all the teams we played against for their support and the kind words exchanged after each game on how much this team had improved over the last 3 tournaments.

A massive thank you to everyone who helped organise this year’s On The Rocks as we know it was a hard one to take on but everyone loved every minute of it, and it was great to see so many female players taking part in the sport. Let’s hope this helps the female side of the sport grow in the UK.

Lastly Congratulations to the winners of the tournament Devils who beat Weelers in the 1 vs 2 Final but most of all we love how close the league was this year from top to bottom as goal difference definitely played a big part in 2023.

If you would like to take up online hockey if you are in the Manchester area or even if you are not then send us a message via our contact us page on how to join our training session or to find our who your closest team is.

Amazing 1st day for Wild Lions

After a slow start for Wild Lions against Wheelers taking a 7 – 0 loss the team managed to click together and lower the scores for the next 3 teams.

Angels took a 2 – 0 win in the 2nd game and the team managed to keep last seasons winners to only scoring 1 goal in a 1 – 0 loss vs Sirens.

The last game saw the team a player down as Danny picked up an injury in the game againt Sirens but managed to get a 2 – 2 draw with NorthStars.

With the results above means Wild Lions could chase a 6th spot finish tomorrow and play in the 5th vs 6th spot final.

All the players have shown improved from last season and made it alit harder for teams to get shots off on goal.

We aalso need to give our keeper a big shout out for also saving the shots that managed to get though and giving the team a chance in games.

We hope the injery to Danny is not to bad and we have 8 players and a keeper ready to go in anther 4 hard games vs Devils, Pucklins, Lycans and then our final place game of the day.

Massive thanks to everyone involved in getting today’s event up and running and we can’t wait to see everyone again tomorrow.
