Wednesday Night is Hockey Night and the Heating is fixed
Monday, 22 February 2010
Well, this week, Wednesday night is Hockey night. This Wednesday Lightning take on Manchester Phoenix in te second leg of the Semi Finals of the Cup. MKL have a 6 goal lead having won the first leg last week at Manchester 2 - 8 MKL, but we know Manchester will not sit back and they will no doubt be out for revenge this week.
This will be a hard game for Lightning and the extra player on the ice, in the fantastic MKL fans, the best in the league, would be an extra boost for them - we hope to see you on Wednesday face off 7.30pm
This long weekend
Tuesday, 16 February 2010
MK Lighning have the first Leg of the Semi Finals of the Cup this Thursday (18th Feb) away at Manchester - if anyone is able to come along and support The Lightning then Team would really appreciate it - Face Off is 7.30 pm
The First leg of the Semi Finals of the Cup saw Lightning streaking ahead with a 2 - 8 lead over Manchester Phoenix, despite a difficult journey to Manchester in unpleasant conditions Lightning settled down and played a fantastic game, we do not however rule out a spirited reply from Phoenix in the 2nd leg at home on Wednesday 24th February 2010 - Face off 7.30pm
Then it is away at Romford on Saturday
Romford came out scoring 3 early goals tonight, but Lightning showed yet again why they are top of the League and fought their way back to win Romford 4 - 8 MKL - with 4 goals from Monir Kalgoum. The results around the league mean that Lightning are now 7 points clear of Slough Jets.
Sunday we are playing host to Euan Henderson the MK Mayor and the Mayoress - who was a large part of keeping Planet Ice Milton Keynes open a few years ago - we would love a brilliant rousing welcome. Sunday face off 5.30pm - every game is so crucial at the moment and the extra player (the fantastic MKL Fanbase) can make all the difference - so, see you there....
Well, the Mayor and Mayoress arrived, a lot earlier than Lightning it must be said, again Lightning went behind tonight and had to claw it back and the final score was MKL 5 - 2 Sheffield.
So 4 days, 3 games and 6 points out of 6, it doesn't get any better
Eight Points Clear
Sunday, 14 February 2010
Lightning managed to scrape another victory Saturday at home against Bracknell, and the fight for second place between Manchester and Slough is being hotly contested, Manchester are currently second after beating Slough tonight - but Slough have games in hand. Every game counts.....
Sunday saw Lightning away to Swindon Wildcats - and they came away with another 4 point weekend with the score ending Swindon 3 - 5 MKL
14th Feb - Swindon vs MKL
Sunday, 14 February 2010
Lightning look to extend their lead further tonight away at Swindon Wildcats. Hollyhead starts in net, Jacob Heron & Ross Green are the only players missing.
What a brilliant response on Saturday - Mary Golson was rushed off her feet and sold out of all the MK Lightning allocation - Fantastic news we have been given an extra allocation in Block 1, you will need to see Mary Golson at the game on Saturday with either part or full payment to reserve your seat(s)
Start of a busy few weeks
Monday, 08 February 2010
Lightning start the first of 3 weeks with mid weeks games playing away to Sheffield on Weds, then it is home on Saturday against Bracknell face off 7.00pm and away to Swindon on Sunday
MKL and Virgin Trains Magazine
Sunday, 07 February 2010
In December the Management of MKL were approached by Virgin Trains Magazine asking if they could 'do a piece' on The Lightning - you may have seen them on the night Smults got injured - well, here it is, we couldn't have asked for more - you will have to register to see the magazine, but it is worth it.
