Big cheers for Freddie and Isabella, who stepped between the pipes for the very first time at last night’s Rookie Cubs session! 👏 Both took on the challenge of goal tending with passion and determination. During their debut hour in goal, they learned the fundamentals of the butterfly technique, where to position their hands and body, and worked on movements across the goal.
By the end of the session, their progress was phenomenal, and they were joined by Hollie, our amazing Under-8s and Under-10s netminder, for extra inspiration and encouragement. It’s fantastic to see more junior keepers stepping up, as goal tending is such a vital area where the sport needs more players. With additions like Freddie and Isabella to the team, we’re on track to have at least four junior age groups next season—a testament to the dedication of our young athletes and their incredible journey over the last couple of sessions.
🚨 We’re not stopping here! If you’re thinking about starting inline hockey—whether as a keeper or a player—why not join us? Drop us a DM or email us at info@lionsihc.co.uk for more information. Let’s keep building our Lion Cubs family together!
Oliver has had an extraordinary debut season for the Altrincham Aces, playing 26 games and scoring an impressive 15 goals with 11 assists—bringing his total to 26 points! Watching Oliver develop over the years has been nothing short of inspiring. We’ve always believed he would shine when he reached the senior level, and he certainly hasn’t disappointed!
Ollie made the step up to senior Inline Hockey last season, playing a pivotal role in helping the Lions win the B League. This year, in the UKIHF North West A League, Oliver’s leadership, relentless determination, and “never give up” attitude have made him a standout player. At just 16 years old, he’s not only been the top goal scorer but also finished joint top on points in his debut season with the Aces—a remarkable achievement!
Oliver continues to be an incredible role model for both our junior and senior players alike. We are so fortunate to have him as part of the Lions squad and coaching team. His dedication and talent inspire us all, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything he has achieved.
What an amazing season it has been for our Lions Inline Hockey Club Under 8s team! Although we finished in 6th place, it was by just one goal difference. This season was all about gaining game experience, as it was the first season for all our players except Ellis, who was in his third season.
We set mini challenges for the children in each game. Today’s challenge was to keep their feet moving and perform stick lifts rather than tackling head-on. This helped the children improve their defensive and attacking plays, showing significant progress, especially considering most of them have only been playing for the last 12 months.
Most of this team will be moving up to the Under 10s age group next season. Having completed the mini game tasks during the Under 8s game days, they will have a better understanding of the game and will continue to grow as a team.
A special shoutout to Hollie, our netminder, who played amazingly today. She started as a keeper only 12 months ago and has shown tremendous growth with each game, taking in all the advice from our coaches. Another big shoutout to Ellis, who won the Under 8s Lion Cubs Top Performer award for his outstanding leadership skills. He helped his teammates understand the game, guided them during faceoffs and defense, and supported them from the bench, all while scoring 15 goals, his highest tally for him in a season so far.
Unfortunately, we did not get a full team photo today as some players had to leave before the presentation. Nevertheless, we are incredibly proud of all the children who participated in our 2024/2025 Under 8s season. With a new group of players ready to take on the Under 8s next year, we can’t wait to set new mini challenges and watch them grow throughout the season, just as this group moves up to the Under 10s.
Our under 8s Lion Cubs are gearing up for their final game day of the season, taking on the Bears, Knights, and Devils! This marks the culmination of their first league campaign together, and the players can’t wait to hit the rink and showcase the skills they’ve been honing all season.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! We’re thrilled to welcome a wave of new players who will be joining the under 8s league next year. The future of our sport is bright, and we can’t wait to see these young talents grow and shine on the rink.
Let’s cheer on our Lion Cubs as they give it their all and continue to grow the sport for the next generation! 🦁🏒
