Brandon Stones leaves AIB MKL
Everyone at AIB Milton Keynes Lightning would like to wish Brandon Stones all the best as he moves on after being with us since the start of the 2019/20 season.   29 year old Nottingham born Brandon is one of the nicest, most genuine guys we have had around the club, and that’s why it’s difficult to say goodbye to him. He made 32 appearances in a Lightning jersey, and was well recognised for the role he plays as a fantastic team player. We are sad to see him go, but his ice time would have been very limited this [...]
