Its time to tell you some of the great players who will be joining James Griffin for his Testimonial game on the 26th April 25.
See Below for what players are available for Own and Loan – and see how to apply at the bottom of the post.
CALLUM FIELD
Callum joined the Lightning in 2021 after having learned his skills largely within the Sheffield youth organisation – and a brief spell with the MK Storm around 9 years ago! Standing at an imposing 6’ 5” his height gives our attack a very physical edge and we’re delighted to see him lining up to help celebrate Griff’s testimonial. ⚪️ Own and Loan Available and PLAYER SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE
TIM WALLACE
Alaska-born Tim has a hockey CV which speaks for itself, including 101 NHL appearances for Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Islanders, Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes, Tim brought that experience to the UK in 2017 with Sheffield Steelers before joining MK Lightning the following year. After a spell as Head Coach with the EIHL Nottingham Panthers, he returned to MK as our Head Coach, Player and Director of Hockey Development – Super Tim Wallace!
JORDAN COWNIE
Pushing for the title of top points scorer, Jordan’s efforts this season have been a key feature of our efforts to win silverware this season. Back with us after six seasons in the Elite League, “Cowns” was one of the double-silverware winning MKL roster of 2016-17 so he knows what it takes to win trophies! PLAYER SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE
OLLIE BOOTH
Nottingham born netminder Ollie Nottingham born netminder Ollie, is our 3rd netminder, in case we need him for injury cover (you can only dress 2 goalies per game). Ollie is on a 2-way contract with Deeside Dragons, but trains every week with the team showing huge dedication to MK Lightning, and can often been seen in the stands supporting the team on a match night. ⚪️ Own and Loan Available and PLAYER SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE
ADAM CARR
“Carsy” learned the game in his native north east of England but played the majority of his career in MK, wearing the coveted ‘C’ for eight of his 14 seasons here, before his shirt number was retired and hangs from the rafters reflecting his status in MK. Like Michael Farn he also moved from Lightning to Streatham, wearing the C on his jersey for two of his final three seasons there. PLAYER SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE
ROSS GREEN
After 14 seasons in Lightning colours Ross hung up his skates at the end of the 23-24 season, culminating in his own testimonial and was one of MKL’s Alternate captains for his last two seasons with us. After starting his hockey career with MK Storm and working his way through the ranks, Ross has only ever iced for Milton Keynes teams and remains a fan favourite. PLAYER SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE
GRANT MCPHERSON
Another player whose shirt you can see hanging in the rafters, “G Man” played over 500 games in Lightning colours, gaining a reputation as a quick and combative player who wouldn’t hesitate to stand up for his team when necessary – and holds the record for the most penalty minutes for any Lightning player…but we wouldn’t have had him any other way!
