He’s flying high this season, flourishing in his role as Captain, and even knocking in the goals!  So we really couldn’t be happier to share the news that Lewis Christie, your number 66, will be having his testimonial on 29th April 2023.  Save the date!

33 year old Lewy was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and began his career with Dundee and Edinburgh before earning his first international callup with GB U18s for whom he iced 9 times.  Lewy then forged his career in the Elite League with Belfast Giants, and a brief stint in Basingstoke, before joining MKL in 2008.  He has remained with the MK hockey family since then, and made 38 appearances for Lightning in the 2021/22 season picking up a goal and 13 assists for his efforts.

Lewy plays hard all game long, and is well known for his ability to close down opposition forwards, and for playing a critical role on the Penalty Kill where he will often take the first 60 seconds and make it disappear.  He’s a superb team player, and is relied on by his team mates to make intelligent, consistent plays in his own end and press the team up the ice.

When signing Lewy, Tim Wallace describing him as having a great work ethic, and being a fantastic example to some of the younger guys in the team of how to play solid defensive hockey with the minimum of mistakes.

So far we reckon Lewy has played 583 Regular Season and Playoff Games for MKL, scoring 15 goals and 123 assists.  In our book this gives him legend status in the MK ranks and we are absolutely thrilled that Lewy will be having his testimonial this season.

Congratulations Lewy!

Save the date – 29th April 2023
