We have several fixture changes to announce –
This coming Saturday 21st September we will now be playing at home against Oxford, faceoff 5:30pm.
The date for our away game against Solent is now TBC.
Streatham have withdrawn from the league, so our games against them have been removed from the schedule.
Last but not least, we’re delighted to announce we will be participating in a new competition called the Eddie Joseph Memorial Cup, in honour of our long time player, coach, and manager.
It will encompass the following fixtures:
28th Sep – Haringey Huskies (A)
13th Oct – Peterborough Phantoms 2 (H)
12th Jan – Invicta Mustangs (H)
TBC – Chelmsford Warriors (A)
After a fantastic opening league game away to Haringey, we fall agonisingly short as we go down 4-3 at Alexandra Palace.
Our goals:
#17 Hamilton
#5 Ganas (shorthanded; assisted Downing and Hamilton)
#69 Downing (powerplay; assisted Hamilton and Ganas)
Players of the Game:
#33 Ethan Frain (Lions) – 52 saves
#27 Joseph Tearall (Huskies)
Much promise for the season ahead!
