We are sad to share that our Bench with the Lightning host Joe Raine will be stepping down at the end of the season to allow more time to pursue his career as a tennis coach.
Joe has run the Bench with the Lightning Experience over the past 5 seasons, and has brilliantly hosted over 300 guests on matchnights. If you don’t know, Bench with the Lightning is our pre-match experience which gives guests an exclusive tour of the locker room as well as spending time on the bench during the warmup.
Participants have given Joe some great feedback, praising his knowledge of Lightning and the game of ice hockey, as well as him being an all round nice guy. Â
“He was brilliant and made the experience with his knowledge”
“Joe was just brilliant, so knowledgeable and enthusiastic to tell us really cool stuff”
Joe has been a great member of the MK Lightning matchnight team, and we wish him all the best for this expanding tennis coaching career. Thank you Joe and good luck!
