We are thrilled to announce that tomorrow is the Labeda Desert Rats Draft Pick game day at the UKIHF Junior Rink in Market Drayton! Our Lions Under 12s team, along with three of our Junior keepers, will be participating in this exciting event.
The players have been split into two ability groups and will compete in 3vs3 games with five teams in each group. There are plenty of prizes to be won throughout the tournament, including awards for the winning team in each group and the first team to have all players score a goal. Additionally, there will be mini-games like “Quickest Hands on the Super Deaker” to keep the excitement going.
We are especially proud to announce that Ellis from Lions Cubs has been selected to play in the Desert Rats select team in Group 1. This team, chosen by Ren, aims to challenge the under 8s players by having them compete against older players in the competition and also give the children who are taking part in the Natch 2025 USA tournament a chance to form partnerships.
Most importantly, this game day provides all players, regardless of their experience, with another opportunity to gain valuable experience in playing inline hockey. We are proud to have eight players, three net minders, and three coaches helping to run the teams. We wish them all the best of luck and, most importantly, hope they have fun!
The puck drops at 9am for the first game, so be sure to arrive early and show your support!

Today, three of our young Lion Cubs took to the rink at the Deeside Jamboree, each representing different teams but never losing sight of their shared pride in the game. While they may have worn different jerseys, their support for one another remained steadfast throughout the day, showcasing the true spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
Each of our Cubs played exceptionally, bringing their skill, determination, and passion to the rink. Whether defending, attacking, or making crucial plays, their performances were nothing short of incredible. From powerful shots to game-changing saves, they gave it their all and made us proud.
What truly stood out, however, was their encouragement for one another. Despite the competition, they cheered, supported, and celebrated each other’s achievements, proving that teamwork goes beyond the colours you wear.
A huge congratulations to our three Cubs for their outstanding efforts today! Their dedication and sportsmanship represent what Lions Inline Hockey Club is all about—skill, passion, and unity. We can’t wait to see them continue to grow and excel in future tournaments. Well done, Cubs! 🦁🏒
