Latest news from MK Lightning

Well done to MK Lightning for their fantastic victories last weekend against the Sheffield Steeldogs and the Hull Pirates. The team had an impressive win on Saturday (10^th December) beating the Steeldogs 6-1 and another convincing win over the pirates on the Sunday, with a 4 goals to 0 victory. This now puts them comfortably into second place in the English Premier League with Hull nine points behind them in third place.

Even more impressive were these victories, considering the absence from these matches of Glenn Billing, Luc Johnson and Kubo’s sponsored player Ed Knaggs. They are currently playing in the under 20s World Championships in Hungary and Kubo want to wish the trio all the best for the Championships!    

This Saturday (17^th December) sees MK lightning face the Swindon Wildcats in the MK Arena at 7pm and will be the team’s last game before Christmas. So make sure you don your festive outfits for the match because after the game there’ll be Christmas Jumper Karaoke in the Tag Taylor Bar and the players will be there signing autographs and posing for your photos.

Tickets for Saturday’s game are on sale now from the Planet Ice MK box office on 01908 540020, or in person at the box office.

Did it take you long to decide that MKL was the club to sign for?

Not even a second, this club is very special to me as it is where I spent the majority of my junior career so it was very easy to sign back here.

In your career, what’s been the biggest challenge to date?

My debut for MKL – I played my first EPL game at just 16; adapting to the speed, strength and skill was a massive challenge for me, especially at such a young age.

What is your proudest moment of your career so far?  

Winning a bronze medal with Great Britain U20’s last year.

Do you follow an NHL team or player?     

I follow the Calgary Flames in the NHL, my favourite player is Mike Giordano.

How would you describe your style of play?

A solid 2 way defenceman.

Thoughtful!

I like to play golf when I can especially in the summer, and also I study engineering at college.

Who was your ice hockey hero as you were coming up through the ranks?

Lukas Zatopek, when I was playing in juniors at MKL – he was the player I looked up to.

If you could be as good at a different sport as you are at hockey, what would it be? 

Do you have a sporting hero in a different sport?

Football, my favourite player has to be Ronaldo, some of his skills are out of this world!

Kubo sponsor shirts of new MK Lightning players!

Kubo Recruitment are proud to announce that we are sponsoring the home shirt of MK Lightning’s young Defenceman Ed Knaggs and the GB junior international netminder Jordan Hedley’s away shirt.

Although both players are very young, Knaggs just 17 and Hedley 19, the young stars have already proved how talented they are.



Ed Knaggs

Ed Knaggs has been named in the Great Britain U18 roster which will compete in the World Junior Championships in Romania in April. Ed also plays for MK Thunder and represented Great Britain in last month’s U20 level World Junior Championships in France.  Great Britain beat the Ukraine there and it was during this match that he was awarded the title of best player in the team.

 

Jordan Hedley

Jordan Hedley learnt his skills playing for MK Storm and MK Thunder before making his debut for MK Lightning in 2012. He had great success with the team during 2013-2014 before leaving the team in the summer of 2015 to join the Swindon Wildcats.

However to the delight of the MK Lightning fans, Jordan returns to the MK Lightning team next season where his interest in the sport first materialised: “Milton Keynes is my home. I used to watch the Kings play when I was just three years old, standing on a step to see over the plexi!

“I can’t wait to get training and for the season to start. I know I’ve still got a few more years to grow and develop yet and I intend to do everything I can to be the best I can be. It feels good to be home!”

Kubo  wish both of our players all the best for the up and coming season and we look forward to seeing them play.

Season tickets are now available for the 2016-17 season – For full details and application form see mk-lightning.co.uk/tickets/season-tickets or pick up a form at the MK Arena box office.
