Milton Keynes Lightning (MKL) is thrilled to announce the return of forward Sean Norris for the remainder of the 2024/25 season. Known for his exceptional point-scoring ability, skillful play, and impressive skating, Norris is set to make an immediate impact on the ice.

Norris, a 25-year-old native of Ascot, England, began his career with the Bracknell junior program before honing his skills in the Czech Republic’s U18 and U20 leagues. He made his professional debut with the Bracknell Bees in the English Premier Ice Hockey League during the 2015-2016 season. His journey continued through the NIHL with stints at Slough Jets, Milton Keynes Thunder, and Basingstoke Bison.

In the 2021-2022 season, Norris showcased his offensive prowess with MK Lightning, recording 31 goals and 37 assists in 43 league games. This performance earned him a move on a 2-way contract to the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL), where he contributed to the Belfast Giants’ treble-winning season in 2022-2023, tallying 4 goals and 2 assists in 11 regular-season games. He also made his mark internationally, debuting for Great Britain and participating in both Olympic qualifiers and the World Championships.

23/24 saw Sean sign with the Belfast Giants full time, where he scored 3 goals and 11 assists on 50 games.

Norris began the current season with the Guildford Flames, appearing in 10 games and recording 1 goal and 1 assist. 

“I’m glad to be back and excited to get going,” said Norris. 

Head Coach Tim Wallace expressed his enthusiasm for Norris’s return: “I am very excited to get Sean back in Milton Keynes. Sean is a dynamic player that has the attitude to do what it takes to improve and push himself on and off the ice. He will step in and play a big role right away.”

Norris’s return is expected to bolster MK Lightning’s offensive capabilities, bringing additional experience and skill to the roster. Fans can anticipate his debut in the upcoming home game, where his speed and scoring ability will be on full display.

We are in the process of the paperwork side of things to get Sean playing for us as soon as possible….. watch our social media for when he will first ice for Puckiverse MK Lightning.
