James number one

Posted on by

It wouldn’t be Lee Valley without James Joseph, right? Player/manager James returns once more for the exciting 25/26 season, joining a roster brimming with depth and talent. “When you think of Lee Valley you think of James Joseph,” said coach Simon Jones. “James’ commitment to the team and to hockey at Lee Valley is demonstrated by 20 seasons and over 300 games played (and over 300 penalty minutes). James gives his all every time he steps on the ice and will go all out again this year.”

Loyal Lion Sully back for another season

Jordan Sullivan re-signs for the 25/26 season, having spent over 10 seasons with the Lions organisation. He’ll be bringing his years of team culture to the new faces in the changing room.
 
“Sully is a fan favourite and has somewhat of a cult following,” said Lions’ coach Simon Jones. “He brings positivity and energy to the group and as a Lee Valley junior graduate, his passion for the team is second only to James Joseph. Sully delivered several highlights last season and I know he will work hard to do so again this year.”

Hollinshead returns

Team favourite Dylan Hollinshead re-signs with the Lions. Fans will remember his memorable goal against league winners Guildford Phoenix last season and we’re sure there’s plenty more where that came from.
 
Coach Simon Jones had this to say: “Dylan has been an asset to the team and dressing room over the last couple of seasons. Dylan works hard and is committed to improving his game. He listens and follows instructions to the letter, which as a coach is everything that I ask for from my players. I look forward to Dylan continuing to develop this season.”

Miller’s back for more

Posted on by


Gritty forward Joe Miller re-signs for the 25/26 season. Miller opened the scoring in our pre-season game against Nottingham with a cool, calm and collected breakaway goal, so we hope to see plenty more as the league fixtures get under way.

Coach Comments: “Joe is amongst the longest serving players on the team and has consistently worked hard on his game, being willing to do whatever has been asked of him for the team. Joe works hard to put pressure on the opposition and capitalises on the mistakes that he forces. I’m sure he will continue to grind down opponents this season.”
