Bring On The Play Offs

The Romford Raiders have secured their place in the playoffs.

That’s the job done. Now the real business starts.

Last night’s trip to face the Swindon Wildcats showed exactly what this group is about. A tight, hard-fought game went all the way to overtime, with the Raiders narrowly edged out 4–3. A point on the road. A performance full of fight. And confirmation that this team belongs in the mix.

There’s no time to dwell on it.

We go again tonight.

Back at the Sapphire.
Face-off at 17:15.
Same opponents. Same intensity expected.

If last night was anything to go by, you’re in for a proper playoff-level battle.

Next weekend brings another huge test.

Saturday 4th April – home to the Peterborough Phantoms, 17:15 face-off.
Sunday 5th April – away at Planet Ice Peterborough.

Then it all comes down to the final group fixtures.

Saturday 11th April – away to the Sheffield Steeldogs.
Sunday 12th April – back home at the Sapphire.

Simple equation.

Top two teams progress.

Make it through, and it’s Finals Weekend at Coventry Skydome on 18th and 19th April.

That’s where everyone wants to be.

The hard work to get here is done. Qualification secured.

Now it’s about momentum.
Execution.
And stepping up when it matters most.

We need you with us. Tickets on sale now at https://romfordraiders.ticketco.shop/

Pack the Sapphire tonight. Bring the noise. Back the boys.

COYR.

Jason Buckman Departs

Romford Raiders Announce the Departure of Head Coach Jason Buckman

We would like to thank Jason for his contributions to ice hockey in Romford over the last few seasons.

We wish Jason all the very best in his future endeavours and look forward to seeing his continued journey in the world of ice hockey.

Twins Join The Raiders

Twins Austin and Dawson Osborn Join the Romford Raiders

Romford Raiders are delighted to announce the signing of twin forwards Austin and Dawson Osborn for the 2025/26 season. The 21-year-old duo join the Raiders from MK Lightning, bringing with them an exciting mix of speed, skill, and North American experience.

Before returning to the UK last season, the Osborn brothers spent three seasons developing their game in the United States — icing for the Idaho Falls Spud Kings, Vernal Oilers, and most recently, the Tampa Bay Juniors. Their time overseas saw them refine their offensive play with both enjoying standout seasons in Tampa. Austin recorded an impressive 49 points in 40 games, while Dawson contributed 42 points from 41 games.

Their return to British ice and subsequent move to Romford marks another key addition to the Raiders’ 2025/26 roster.

Head Coach Jason Buckman commented:

“I’m thrilled to welcome Austin Osborn and Dawson Osborn to the G&B!

Both players bring exceptional skill, work ethic, and a real team-first attitude — exactly the kind of character we look for at Raiders.

I’ve been impressed with their energy and professionalism since joining the group, and I’m confident they’ll make an immediate impact on and off the ice.

They have an ambition to develop and progress in their hockey careers and that will give us a lot more depth across the lineup, which can only make us stronger as a group. 

The Raiders welcome Austin and Dawson to the club and look forward to seeing them in action at Sapphire Ice and Leisure this season.
