Lightning goalie back for another term

MK Lightning netminder Jordan Hedley has agreed another year with the club.

Apart from one season with Swindon Wildcats, Hedley has spent his entire career in the Milton Keynes set-up.

Lightning boss Pete Russell: “I’m delighted to have Jordan back – he’s a young goalie who will only get stronger training every day and at a much higher level.

“He has good size, stays square and has matured so much as a player over the last few months. I’m really looking forward to working with Heds to help him achieve his full potential.”

Hedley added: “I’m proud and excited to be part of the MK Lightning team – next season will be a big opportunity for me and a massive step in my career.

“Coach Russell has big plans for the team this year and that’s something that I absolutely want to be a part of.

“Ever since I started watching ice hockey, I’ve wanted to play in the Elite League. Doing just that for my home town team makes it even more special.”
