🥌Team Loftus 2026/27 Line-Up Change Announcement 🥌

We are delighted to announce that Ken Horton will return to skip Team Loftus for the 2026/27 season after missing last season for health reasons. We are also thrilled to welcome Jonathan Havercroft to the senior circuit. Jonathan brings a wealth of experience to the team, having represented England at multiple Men's and Mixed World Championships, and will take up the third position. With Martin continuing at second and Stuart moving back to lead, we're excited about the season ahead and look forward to building on recent successes.

📅 Playing schedule details will be announced soon.

Finally, we'd like to thank Doug and Andy McGlynn for their significant contributions to the success of the team over the past two years and wish them both every success for the future.

Team update:
Unfortunately, we need to let everyone know that Ken has had to step out of the team for the coming 25/26 season.
Ken was diagnosed a few years ago with low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He has now been diagnosed with high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is currently starting chemotherapy which will take him out for the rest of the season. We are gutted that Ken is not able to join us this year, but he is still very much part of our team. We would like to take this opportunity to wish Ken all the best for his upcoming treatments, and hopefully, we will see him back on the ice with us soon.
We do not currently have a replacement for Ken; we will announce this in due course.

Fredericton is proving more difficult to get out of than we anticipated! 3 of us had our original flight cancelled so a hotel move & an extra night drinking in Fredericton it was. Rearranged travel today so fingers crossed 🤞 🙏
