Heads up.....it's Hedley!!

Kubo are excited to be sponsoring the home shirt of MK Lightning’s young Defenceman Ed Knaggs and the GB junior international netminder Jordan Hedley’s away shirt. With the start of the 2016/2017 season almost upon us, we saw this recent interview with Jordan Hedley on MK Lightning’s website and were keen to share the information.  

 

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

      Once I spoke to Pete it didn’t take long, I just knew   it was the right decision for me to come back after a year away.

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

      Every year is a challenge in its own way – to do better than last season.  For me it’s to play more games and improve my stats on the year before.

·    What is your proudest moment of your career so far?

      Winning gold and bronze medals at the world championships with GB

·      Do you support an NHL team or player?     

      I don’t really have one team – my favourite players are Carey Price and Braden Holtby

·      How would you describe your style of play?    

 

      Big goalie – also athletic 

 

·      What kind of character are you in the dressing room: thoughtful or practical joker? 

 

      I’d say I’m more of a joker – just ask Jaimo!

 

·      Outside of ice hockey….what takes up your time? 

 

      FIFA and I’m doing an apprenticeship in plumbing.

 

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

 

      Joe Watkins the goalie who used to play in Guildford

 

·      Do you have a sporting hero in a different sport? 

 

      Wouldn’t say I have one

 

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

  

            Football or golf

We wish our sponsored players and the rest of the MK Lightning team all the best for their first match against the Telford Tigers on Saturday 27th August.
