We wrapped up our last Hustlers session on December 21 with a lights vs. dark's scrimmage featuring two mixed lines—a blend of our Lions Cubs (ages 8–16) and Lions Black players. From the opening face-off to the final buzzer, it was a battle! Early momentum: Dark's jumped out to an early lead Momentum swing: Lights fought back and took the lead in a tight, high-tempo game Final twist: Dark's found a last-minute equaliser to tie it up 4–4 Both netminders Lottie and James were pushed to the limit, and the goals came from both sides—Cubs and Lions Black alike—in a true team-first game. Watching this back shows just how much talent we have coming through the Lions Cubs and how much Lions Black have improved—heads-up passing, working for each other, and smart team play. No matter if it was a Cub or a Lion on the rink, everyone supported each other. That’s the Lions way. 🦁 🗓️ New Training Pathway & Session Times We now have a complete pathway for every age group to gain the experience they need on their hockey journey: Sundays — North West Roller Sports Rink Under-16s: 7:00–8:00pm Lions Black: 8:00–9:00pm Mondays — Ardwick Sports Hall Under-8s: 6:00–7:00pm Under-12s: 7:00–8:00pm New to hockey?

Final Hockey Hustlers training session — Scrimmage Special!
Check out the highlights from our latest Rookie Cubs training session! Our amazing coaches Dani and Doc worked on basic stick handling and skating drills with all the players. Coach James focused on our youngest netminder, Freddie, helping him track the puck. By the end of the session, Freddie was catching pucks like a pro, thanks to connecting the dots! 🏒 We wrapped up with a fun horseshoe drill, giving the Rookie Cubs a chance to shoot and Freddie to practice what they learned. It was a fantastic session filled with progress and smiles! 😊 We welcome all children aged 4 to 14 to come and give inline hockey a try. No equipment or experience is required!

🎥 Rookie Cubs Highlights - Training Session 12/05/25 🎥
What a fantastic night it was for our Lion Cubs Junior team! Despite the warm weather, the kids battled through and had an absolute blast. Coach James took the netminders through some intense drills to improve their movement, puck tracking, reactions, and fitness. Meanwhile, Coach Doc and Coach Dani led the players in a series of fun and challenging activities including Tug of War, Iron Wall, and one-handed stick handling. The session wrapped up with a senior drill focusing on passing, moving, tip shots, and flowing plays. As a special treat for their hard work and perseverance in the heat, the kids enjoyed a quick scrimmage to end the night on a high note. A huge well done to all the kids for smashing it, and a special shoutout to the keepers who kept going all night! 🌟 #LionCubsJunior #YouthHockey #HockeyTraining #FutureStars #TeamSpirit #HardWorkPaysOff #HockeyLife #JuniorHockey #CoachJames #CoachDoc #CoachDani !

It’s incredible to witness the progress our Rookie Cubs are making. Most of our players joined within the last 12 months, and our coaches have been working hard to develop the fundamental skills needed to play inline hockey. At this Monday’s session, we saw a huge improvement from everyone. From being steadier on their feet to delivering more powerful passes—and all with big smiles on their faces! It’s clear how far our Rookie Cubs have come. This dedicated group of players is now gearing up to take on the UKIHF Junior Leagues next season, competing in the Under-8s and Under-10s categories. With the sport experiencing massive growth, it’s an exciting time for these young athletes to showcase their skills! We still have spaces available for this season’s sessions, held every Monday from 6pm to 7pm at Ardwick Sports Centre. Designed for beginner players aged 4 to 14, there’s no equipment or experience required. The first month is free, and membership is just £25 per month after that.

Rookie Cubs Training: Making Strides Every Week!
Cubs Stickhandling Challenge - Home Practice Highlights! 🦁🏒💪
We are excited to launch the first video in our series showcasing our netminders from both the Lions Inline Hockey Club and Raiders Ice Hockey Club. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing footage from all 5 of our training sessions where our netminders wore head-mounted cameras, giving you a unique view of the game from a keeper's perspective. Our first video features Henry at this Sunday's Lion Hockey Hustlers training, where we held a scrimmage session. Although this was a senior training session for C and B League players, we also welcomed under 16 players looking for more experience. Henry, who doesn't play for the Lion Cubs but is friends with Ellis, joined the session. His mum, Emma, has recently rejoined both our Hockey Hustlers and Senior Lions sessions to get back into the sport and asked if Henry could come along and train. This video provides an inside look at the game through the eyes of a junior player and showcases how athletic children can be. Henry made some amazing saves during the session and even demonstrated some of the stretches he does before games to our other keepers. Let's just say, they showed their age trying to keep up! The camera did slip down at one point, giving us a unique view of Henry's hand and feet movements. There is also a great section where Henry gives an update on how he and his mum are getting on in the session. A massive well done to Henry for stepping up and managing to play 40 minutes—an impressive feat for a child his age. If you or your little one would like to try going in goal or as a player, drop us an email at info@lionsihc.co.uk. #LionsInlineHockey #RaidersIceHockey #Netminders #JuniorHockey #HockeyTraining #GoHenry #HockeyHustlers #SeniorLions #YouthAthlete #ProudMoment
Lions Inline Hockey Club & Riverside Raiders Ice Hockey Club: Netminders Video Series!
What a fantastic scrimmage session we had on Sunday, 26th January! Young Henry, only 8 years old, joined the game with 10-minute shifts on each team, alongside our other goalies John and Coach James. Henry did not look out of place, making amazing saves and thoroughly enjoying playing with his mum, his friend Ellis, and the Lions Black and Wild Lions players. Halfway through the game, the camera slipped, giving us a unique view of Henry's movements. This different angle highlighted his natural talent as a netminder, showcasing his leg, hand, and head movements in action. A big shoutout to Henry—you absolutely smashed it tonight! The cheer you gave Ellis at the end for scoring his penalty shot shows just how much of a team player you are. Keep it up, Henry! You're definitely a netminder to watch over the next 10 years. #LionsInlineHockey #HockeyHustlers #JuniorHockey #FutureStar #TeamPlayer #GoHenry #HockeyFamily #NetminderInTheMaking #ProudMoment
Hockey Hustlers Henry highlights
What a fantastic training session we had this week with Coach Ben! The children always look forward to Ben's sessions because he makes learning fun with his creative drills. This week, he switched things up from the usual gameplay to focus more on skating drills, along with attacking and defensive drills. The kids had a blast! The highlight of the session was seeing the incredible improvement in the children over the past few months. They are now starting to think like true hockey players, lifting the puck when shooting, and learning how to protect the puck effectively. We're so proud of their progress!
