Milton Keynes Lightning are thrilled to announce the return of Ben Brown for the 2024/25 season. Known for his powerful shot and physical defence skills, Brown is set to bring his formidable presence back to the ice, much to the delight of Lightning fans.
Brown’s blend of physicality and skill makes him a versatile player who can influence both ends of the ice, and his dedication to the team and the sport is evident in his ongoing improvement and commitment.
Brown, who has become a cornerstone of the Lightning’s defence, had an impressive first season with Lightning, showcasing his ability to make plays under pressure and demonstrating remarkable poise. His stats speak for themselves, reflecting his consistent performance and growth as a player. Over the 2023/24 season, Brown played 51 games, scoring 6 goals and providing 14 assists, leading to a total of 20 points.
“I am incredibly excited to be coming back to MK for the coming season, playing for the best organisation in the league, and more so the best fans in the league!! I am very grateful for the opportunities Tim, Joe, Tom, and Vicki have given me this past year to improve and better myself not only as a player but as a person too. I love the city and I love playing for this club and hopefully, we can build off of last season’s success and bring one or two more trophies back to MK! Last season was a lot of fun for me and I’m sure the rest of the guys will say the same, and like I say I’m pumped to get back and get right back to work! See you all in September barmy army!! ⚡️” said Ben.
Head Coach Tim Wallace expressed his enthusiasm about Brown’s return, highlighting his development and key attributes. “Ben has done whatever is asked of him and is starting to develop as a solid defenseman. He can make plays and has some poise when under pressure. His biggest asset is his shot. I enjoy working with Ben and I expect big things from him come September.”
The Milton Keynes Lightning are excited to see what the new season holds with Brown back on the roster. Fans can look forward to more thrilling performances and hopefully, a few more trophies in the cabinet by the season’s end.
