𝗗𝗘𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗢𝗡𝗦 Unveil 2026/27 Remembrance Jersey.

Honouring Our Armed Forces and Deeside’s Proud RAF Heritage

The S4S Deeside Dragons are proud to unveil their special edition 2026/27 Remembrance Jersey, paying tribute to the courage, sacrifice and dedication of the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in our Armed Forces.

This year’s jersey holds particular significance for the club and the wider Deeside community, celebrating the area’s remarkable aviation history and its close connection to the Royal Air Force and the legendary Supermarine Spitfire.

Deeside and Flintshire have a proud history of supporting Britain’s Armed Forces, particularly during the Second World War. RAF Hawarden, situated at Broughton, played a vital role in training fighter pilots, with Spitfires and Hurricanes taking to the skies above Flintshire in preparation for defending our nation.

Nearby RAF Sealand also formed an important part of the region’s military aviation heritage, providing essential training and engineering support. The area’s contribution to the war effort extended to the aircraft factory at Broughton, where thousands of Wellington bombers and hundreds of Lancaster bombers were manufactured, demonstrating the engineering expertise and determination of the local workforce.

The Spitfire remains one of the most recognisable symbols of British resilience, bravery and engineering achievement. Its connection to Deeside provides a powerful reminder of the region’s contribution to the defence of our country and the sacrifices made by previous generations.

Through this year’s Remembrance Jersey, the Deeside Dragons are proud to recognise that history and ensure the connection between our local community and the Armed Forces continues to be remembered.

A Lasting Legacy – Thank You to Chris and Elaine King

The club would also like to express its heartfelt appreciation to Chris and Elaine King, whose generosity and commitment made last year’s Remembrance Day Jersey possible.

Their sponsorship was about far more than supporting an ice hockey jersey. It helped establish a meaningful tradition within the club, bringing players, supporters and the wider community together to recognise those who have served our country.

Thanks to Chris and Elaine’s support and vision, the Remembrance Jersey has become an important part of the Dragons’ identity, creating a legacy of respect, gratitude and remembrance that the club is proud to carry forward.

Your Chance to Own a Piece of Dragons History – Shirt Off the Back Raffle

As part of this year’s Remembrance celebrations, every Remembrance Jersey worn by the Dragons will be available to win through our special Shirt Off the Back raffle at this Sunday’s home fixture against the Nottingham Lions.

Supporters will have the opportunity to enter the raffle and take home one of these unique commemorative jerseys, worn by their favourite Dragons players.

The raffle will be drawn promptly after the final whistle, in the café area, and supporters are encouraged to stay behind to see whether they are one of our lucky winners.

Fans can either bring their jerseys back to our next home game for signing or join the players and club staff at The Bridge in Sandycroft, win lose or draw.

A donation from the raffle proceeds will be made to the Royal British Legion, supporting the invaluable work the charity undertakes for serving personnel, veterans and their families.

More Than Just a Jersey

As the Dragons take to the ice wearing this special jersey, they do so not simply representing their club, but paying tribute to all those who have served, those who continue to serve and those who never returned home.

We encourage all Dragons supporters to join us this Sunday against the Nottingham Lions, show their support for our Armed Forces and help make this year’s Remembrance occasion one to remember.

We Will Remember Them.

Lest We Forget.
