Captain Jack Cooper Returns for 2025/26 Season
We’re kicking off the 2025/26 signing campaign with the announcement — Captain Jack Cooper is back!
As we gear up to celebrate his upcoming testimonial game and mark an incredible 12 seasons in senior hockey with the Romford/London Raiders, there’s no better way to start the festivities than by announcing that Coops is returning for another year in Gold & Blue.
With 513 games already under his belt for the Raiders, Jack’s loyalty means he is now ranked 2nd in league appearances. The grit and determination on the ice see Jack hit a career high in gaining 24 points (2 goals and 22 assists), and the commitment to the club and his teammates is second to none, and his influence in the dressing room and on the ice is immeasurable.
Head Coach Jason Buckman had this to say:
“I’m happy to confirm Jack is back for the forthcoming season. He led by example last year in his first year as captain and is someone who’s the perfect fit for Raiders hockey. His straightforward, no-nonsense approach and great attitude can only lead this team from the front. His leadership qualities on and off the ice are exactly what I look for — he’s someone the younger guys can look up to and the more experienced players want as a role model captain.”
Make sure you join Coops, along with his past and present teammates, in celebrating a decade of dedication as a Raider and welcoming #14 back for another season.
Jack’s Testimonial Details: Saturday 3rd May, doors open: 4.30 PM, Face-off: 5.15 PM at the Sapphire Ice & Leisure
