The Lee Valley Lions Nostalgia Site has had to move as it's outgrown its Geocities space! Feel free to browse here as there are still around 200 pages, but for the full site and the updated content please visit our new home at leevalleylions.co.uk.
If you can remember...
- The game where Glasgow Summit Eagles walked
off in a tizzy
- Thrashing Irvine Magnum Wings 32-9
- Nicknames such as "Millwall", "Turkey"
and "Rambo"
- Legendary names like Vesa Pennanen, Janne
Lehti and Darcy Cahill
- Teams such as the Deeside Dragons, Cleveland
Bombers and Richmond Flyers


Here you'll find plenty to remind you of Saturday
and Sunday nights down at the Den, watching some "quality" British ice
hockey. Sit back, put on your old Lions scarf and play your bashed-up
copy of Billy Ocean's "When The Going Gets Tough..." (or even better,
check it out in RealPlayer format on the Extras
page!)
Cue all the old favourites - the Goldstone brothers,
Mike Fafard, Doug McEwen, Dave Ducharme
and the Flying Finns. Remember trying to read your programme just at the
point where the lights got turned out, enjoying a good singalong with
your chums in the Clock End or having a laugh at the expense of Jamie
Crapper, Daryl Lipsey or Terry Ward.
Recall the Supporters' Club table and the T-Stop,
having a bit of a gossip with Mike Cook or Jack McGill, buying 50/50 tickets
from Steve or getting match info thanks to announcer extraordinaire Peter
Livermore! Maybe you'd grab some chips from the café, hang around for
the Man of the Match awards (not expecting the Lions come round the ice
afterwards, of course) then chill out and drown your almost inevitable
sorrows up in the bar! Those were the great times to be had in E10. Let
your memories live on!


Hopefully I've included all the right stuff to remind
you of match nights at Lea Bridge Road. The only thing I can't supply
is the tears and frustration (and occasional jubilation) but I'm sure
you remember those all too well! Here's what you'll find if you click
the links on this page...
- A variety of Player
Profiles - their hockey backgrounds, hobbies etc.
- Season-by-season match results.
You can view the results for a particular season and then check out
stats and comments for a large number of individual matches.
- Details of the various leagues
the Lee Valley Lions played in over the years, including end-of-season
standings (NB to spot the Lions look towards the bottom of the tables!).
- Lots and lots of photos.
Team photos, player photos, on-ice action shots, you name it. Many were
taken from the LVL programmes, others were taken by myself and the remainder
are from credited or unknown sources. See how many faces you remember...
- Some extras to
remind you of the Lions and match nights at the rink. I've included
various bits of memorabilia and links to other hockey sites. Best of
all, you can listen to some of the songs associated with Lee Valley
(Billy Ocean's "When the Going Gets Tough..."
being one of them).
- A guestbook,
powered by Bravenet. Feel free to leave all manner of kindly comments
about the Lions and this site!
- Lastly, a site-specific search engine to
help you steer your way around. Just type what you're after into the
box in the left hand column and click the "Go!" button. Couldn't be
easier!
