Aberdeen Lynx Juniors Celebrate Unprecedented Season Success
Four youth teams head to Dundee after years of dedication and community support
Four teams. One club. One historic weekend. Aberdeen Lynx Juniors are heading to the Scottish Cup Weekend — and for the first time ever, all four age groups made it through to the semi finals. The under-12s to the under-16s will be on the ice at Dundee Ice Arena on 26–27 April, representing a huge moment for the club and the wider hockey community in the North East.
Behind this achievement is a story that runs deeper than match results. Aberdeen Lynx Ice Hockey Club operates as a registered charity, run entirely by volunteers. Every ticket sold at a packed-out senior game, every sponsor’s banner on the rink, helps fund the future of the sport in this part of Scotland.

The club's development is now shown on the ice
“Our junior numbers have grown year on year, and we’re now seeing the results of that development on the ice,” said a club spokesperson. “The success of the juniors this season is a reflection of the dedication behind the scenes — from our coaching team to the volunteers who keep the club running week in, week out.”
That support system includes parents, former players and supporters who give their time freely, helping with everything from kit maintenance to travel logistics. Most of the junior players balance school and homework with several weekly training sessions, often late in the evening, all while pushing to compete at the highest level they can.
Hard work is beginning to pay off
The senior Lynx squad has brought home its share of silverware in recent years, but the club’s long-term goal has always looked beyond that — building something sustainable from the grassroots up. Accessibility is at the heart of that mission, making sure hockey isn’t limited by postcode or background. Rising costs of ice time and equipment make community support more important than ever.
This isn’t just a strong season — it’s a reflection of years of hard work starting to pay off. For the players, coaches and families behind the scenes, finals weekend will be more than a shot at silverware. It’s a moment to show how far they’ve come.
