A2B Airport Transfers Match Report: Peterborough 4 – 0 MKL
Match Reports are brought to you in association with A2B Airport Transfers Old rivals Peterborough Phantoms claimed first bragging rights as Smith Recycling Milton Keynes Lightning went down 4-0 at Bretton on Sunday. In truth, it was a good reaction from the MKL boys after struggling at home the night before. Hard work was in evidence and some good organisation was clear particularly on the PK where Peterborough were 0 for 8. Despite the result, these are clear signs of things to be built on. Indeed it took until over half way through the game for Phantoms to [...]
Openness and transparency
We've always said that our aim is to be open and transparent with you as much as we can about what is happening in the club, and things we think are important to share. Over the last 24 hours there's been a lot of conversation on our social media channels around Brodie Jesson's release from the club and we wanted to talk further about that, in the context of broader actions we are taking as a club. We'll talk about these things as two topics - Squad Development and MKL Behaviours. Squad Development It's clear to everyone that the start [...]
A2B Airport Transfers Match Report: MKL 2 – 5 Telford Tigers
Match Reports are brought to you in association with A2B Airport Transfers Telford Tigers’ experienced and well-oiled roster proved too much for Smith Recycling Milton Keynes Lightning as the hosts went down 5-2 at Planet Ice on Saturday. Lightning were still missing players – including captain Russ Cowley – which meant coach Lewis Clifford had to reshuffle the lines again with Brodie Jesson accompanying Tomas Kana and Cale Tanaka on the first line. Most of the Telford squad have been together for many years and while Lightning held them at bay in the first period the visitors’ cohesion [...]

Match Preview: MKL vs. Telford Tigers 12th October 7pm
Telford Tigers come to Planet Ice on Saturday for the first meeting since Milton Keynes Lightning beat them to win the English Premier League play-offs in 2017.

MK won 7-2 with Leigh Jamieson, the only member of the team with the current team (bar Lewis Christie), scoring the third goal to establish a 3-0 lead at the start of the second period. Our own Brodie Jesson was playing for [...]

A2B Airport Transfers Match Report: Bracknell Bees 4 – 3 MKL (after Penalty Shots) 6th October
Match Reports are brought to you in association with A2B Airport Transfers After leading Bracknell Bees for much of the game Smith Recycling Milton Keynes Lightning came close to a second win but suffered penalty shoot-out disappointment at The Hive on Sunday. Bees took maximum points thanks to a solitary Robin Kovar penalty strike against man of the match goalie Jordan Lawday as Lightning’s Ari Närhi, Tomas Kana and Cale Tanaka all failed to find a way past former MK stopper, Adam Goss. Lightning welcomed back Tanaka following his absence the previous evening but were still without four [...]
A2B Airport Transfers Match Report: MKL 0 – 5 Sheffield Steeldogs 5th October
Match Reports are brought to you in association with A2B Airport Transfers Three Sheffield Steeldogs goals in less than three minutes proved to be the turning point of what had been till then a close fought game at Planet Ice on Saturday. In the end it was to be too high a mountain to climb for under-strength Smith Recycling Milton Keynes Lightning whose task became even harder when Steeldogs added two more goals in final eight minutes to a record a 5-0 win. Lightning were missing no less than players through absence or injury – Grant McPherson, James [...]
