James Griffin Testimonial – Save the Date

We’re thrilled to announce that MK Lightning Captain, our very own #15, James Griffin, will be honoured with a testimonial game on 26th April 2025! Mark your calendars for this special day as we celebrate with him!

James, a 31-year-old from Oxford, began his hockey journey with Swindon and joined MK Lightning in 2015. Now, after a decade of commitment, passion, and heart on the ice, he reaches this well-deserved Testimonial season.

A former England U18 and U20 player, James joined us from the Elite League’s Coventry Blaze and quickly became a cornerstone of our team. He’s played for MKL under coaches: Pete Russell, Doug McKay, Lewis Clifford, and Tim Wallace, adapting and excelling every season.

James holds a unique place in the clubs history as the only player from the current roster, to have played 10 consecutive seasons for MK, which includes, our two seasons competing in the Elite League.

He is known for his electrifying presence on the ice, from delivering huge hits to his smooth, skilful skating and unforgettable coast-to-coast goals. James’ leadership is second to none, having proudly worn the “A” as Alternate Captain since the 2019 season.

Last season, James recorded 20 points in 42 games, scoring a personal record of 11 goals and 9 assists for MK. His contributions on both ends of the ice were instrumental in driving the team’s performance throughout the season.

With over 370 games in a Lightning jersey, James has become a true embodiment of MKL spirit. It’s an honour to celebrate his incredible contributions and loyalty to the club with this testimonial.

Join us on 26th April 2025 to cheer on James and show our appreciation for all he’s given to MKL!
