The Hard Work Starts Now
Pre-season is here, and that means one thing.
Hockey is back.
After weeks of planning, recruitment, preparation and getting everything in place behind the scenes, we finally get to see the Dragons back on the ice.
For the players and coaching staff, though, this is where the real work starts.
Pre-season is not about chasing perfect performances or worrying too much about the final score. It is about getting minutes into the legs, building combinations, learning systems and getting this group ready for the league campaign ahead.
There will be new faces finding their feet, returning players getting back up to speed and the coaching staff looking closely at what works, what needs changing and where we can improve.
That is exactly what pre-season is for.
Every shift gives us something to build on.
Every mistake gives us something to learn from.
Every game takes us another step closer to where we need to be when the league starts.
But this period is not just important on the ice.
It is also the time for us to start building the buzz around the club again.
We need everyone behind us.
When you see an upcoming fixture, ticket post, match graphic or club update on Facebook, Instagram or anywhere else, give it a share.
It might seem like a small thing, but it makes a massive difference.
Every share puts the Dragons in front of more people. More eyes on the club means more people talking about the games, more new supporters walking through the doors and a bigger atmosphere inside The Den.
That support matters.
We have built something special at Deeside, and the best way we keep pushing it forward is together.
So over the next few weeks, help us spread the word.
Share the fixtures.
Tag your mates.
Bring someone new.
Talk about the Dragons.
Let people know when we are playing and help us make sure The Den is the place to be this season.
The players now have their work to do on the ice.
We have ours off it.
The hard work starts now.
Hockey is back.
Let’s build the buzz.
Come on you Dragons. 🐉
Every voice matters. Make The Den the hardest place in the league to visit.

Curtis Warburton
CURTIS WARBURTON #34
A new face between the pipes for the Deeside Dragons this season.
We welcome Curtis Warburton, who joins the Dragons wearing #34 and adds real quality to our netminding options for the 2026/27 campaign.
Curtis’ parent club is the Sheffield Steelers, and despite still being early in his career, he has already gained valuable experience at the highest level of British ice hockey, featuring in the Elite League.
That experience, combined with the opportunity for regular competitive hockey with the Dragons, makes Curtis an exciting addition to the squad.
🥅 Position: Netminder
🔢 Number: #34
🏒 Parent Club: Sheffield Steelers
⭐ Experience: Elite League
We’re looking forward to seeing Curtis between the pipes and continuing his development in a Dragons jersey.
Welcome to Deeside, Curtis. 🐉🔥
