It is with regret that Jo Wiklander will not be in the UK for this coming weekend's End of Season party and the Nick Poole Testimonial as he has had to fly back to Sweden to attend
The MK Lightning would like to thank the Supporter's Club for there donation to the team this past week. The MKLSC presented us with a fantastic cheque for £3500 earlier this week. This cheque on top of all the previous donations has helped the Lightning thrive this season and we incredibly grateful to have what is arguable the most successful Supporter's Club in British hockey. Thanks to all and we look forward to seeing all our great fans with us up in Coventry this coming weekend.
MK Junior Storm Player Awarded Top Player For England In Latvia
Tuesday, 07 April 2009
Congrats to Tommy Mboya who plays for our MK Storm Under 16's as well as England Under 15's. Tommy was away with the England team in Latvia where he was awarded the England team's top player. This award was picked by the coaches of the opposing teams. This is a great achievement and all at MK hockey are very proud of him.
Congrats to MK Thunder.
Well done to Paul Gore and the MK Thunder as they kept ED1 status for next season with back to back wins over the Vectis (Isle of Wight) Tigers. The small rink on the island is never an easy place to play. I am sure all the lads will now be enjoying the start of summer.
Storming Weekend For MK Juniors
Tuesday, 17 March 2009
It was a great weekend for the MK Storm juniors with several of our youngest players representing the South West of England in a tournament in Holland. Jake Southwood, John Cawley, Lewis Jobbling and Andrew Pankhurst all played for the U11 team that narrowly missed out on a medal opportunity. This comes only a few weeks after Jordan Hedley and Tom Mboya represented England in their respective age groups.
Within the club several of MK's U18 players had starring roles with both the Thunder and Lightning along with a fine 3-1 victory of the Bracknell U18 side. Ross Green was arguably Man of the Match against Slough for the MKL on Saturday and then played his part along with N/M Jake Scriven on Sunday.
The Thunder had Jacob Heron, Jack Robinson and Mitch Starkey all providing key roles in their win on Saturday and narrow loss on Sunday. Well done to all!
A Few Places Left On Easter Hockey Camp
There are only a few places left on the Easter Hockey Camp that is taking place April 6-10th (8am -10am). At only £95.00 this represents one of the best value for money hockey camps in England. Joakim Wiklander and Andre Smulter will both be guest coaches along with other MKL players.

This Sunday against the Telford Tigers will see the MKL Supporter's Club presenting us with another cheque. The MKLSC have presented us with several cheques this season along with weekly contributions that have enabled us to ice a very competitive team. On behalf of the entire team and management I would like to once again thank all the Club members, the volunteers on match night and all those that have contributed to the Supporter's Club over the course of the season. I firmly believe that we have the best Supporter's and Supporter's Club in UK hockey. Thank You!
