Ganas Mic’d Up

Posted on by
Over the weekend a small group of players, old and new, played a game to celebrate Brian Winstanley’s last time putting on the Lions uniform.

We thought it was the perfect time to test out and show off our new mic’d up content.

You can expect to see a lot more like this, as well as a load of other things in the 24/25 season, we can’t wait!

We’re delighted to welcome back blueliner Josh Freeman, with our #3 signing up for his 2nd season as a Lion.

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Josh is a great character to have in the room and grew into his role on the team last year.

He has great potential to push on again this season and be a key part of our defensive core.

He is effective at both ends of the ice and I expect his role to grow again this year.”

A big welcome back to our #20 Dylan Hollinshead who returns for his 2nd season in the green and blue.

The enthusiastic youngster joined the Lions last summer, playing as both a defenceman and a forward in his first season with us.

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Dylan is fantastic to coach.

He is eager to learn and that showed in his improvement last season.

Dylan is one of the first to arrive to training and games and embraces whatever role he is given to help the team.

I am looking forward to overseeing his development this season and I am sure he will continue to take great steps forward and help the team.”

Leer is a Lion once again

Posted on by

A big welcome back to our #53 Mitch Leer who begins his 3rd year in the green and blue.

The versatile Mitch first joined the Lions in the summer of 2022, and can play either as a forward or on the blueline.

Coach Jonesy’s comments: “Mitch loves the game and has offered a lot to the team over the last couple of years.

As someone that came into the sport quite late he has made rapid improvement both in terms of his ability but also hockey IQ.

As well as this Mitch offers a lot off of the ice and is a great guy to have in the room with his positivity and encouragement.”
