Welcome

There is definitely something building at Deeside.

02

You can feel it around the rink, you can hear it in the stands and now you can see it in the numbers too.

Attendance is up more than 30% compared with this point last season, and that is something we should all be proud of.

Growth like that does not happen by accident. It happens because people come back, because supporters bring friends and family, because people talk about the club, share what we are doing and encourage someone else to give ice hockey a try.

But for me, this club has never just been about numbers.
It is about people.

Deeside Dragons is a family club, and I do not just mean that in the sense that families can come along and enjoy a night of hockey together.

I mean we are one big family, and when someone within that family needs support, we come together.
We have seen that this week.

People checking in on each other, people offering support and people simply being there when it matters.

Sometimes things happen that put hockey into perspective, and when they do, you quickly see what a club is really made of.
That is something I am incredibly proud of.

I am proud of this club.
And when I say this club, I mean YOU.

The players, the coaches, the volunteers, the sponsors, the staff and every single person sitting in those stands each week.

You are the club.

Without you, there is no Deeside Dragons.

And that brings me back to Project 100.

We are not talking about some impossible target. We are talking about the next 100 people joining this family.

The next 100 people who have never been to a Dragons game before.

Sometimes all it takes is someone saying:
“Come with me. You’ll love it.”

Attendance is already up more than 30%.

We know people are enjoying what we are building.
Now we need to keep that momentum going.
Project 100 is firmly in your hands.
Bring somebody new.
Show them the hockey.
Show them the atmosphere.
Show them what this club is all about.

Because something is building at Deeside.
I am proud of this club.
And this club is YOU.

This week’s Player Spotlight turns to #18 Ryan Jones.

A composed presence on the blue line, Ryan brings a strong defensive game, reads situations well and gives the Dragons another dependable option at the back.

Calm under pressure, strong in his positioning and confident moving the puck, Ryan gives us real balance in defence. He’s also never shy about letting one fly from the blue line, with a heavy shot that can cause real problems when it gets through traffic.

Ryan’s Own & Loan has already SOLD OUT, showing the support behind him this season.

His player sponsorship is still available, giving a business the opportunity to get behind Ryan Jones #18 and the Dragons for the 2026/27 season.

🐉 Back the player. Back the Dragons.
