Welcome to the #RedHawks

Streatham IHC are very pleased to announce The signing of Henry Aiken from The Invicta Dynamos. 

The 26 year old Defenseman started his career in Surrey with the Guildford junior system before taking a year away from The sport in 2013-14. The year later, he returned to the sport for the 2014-2015 season with the Lee Valley Lions for 2 seasons before a switch back to the Guildford Phoenix for another 2 seasons. In 2019 he elected to take the step up to the NIHL1 with the Invicta Dynamos where he has played up until now. 

Henry has created a reputation of being a hard working, physical, stay at home D-man that will put his body on the line for his team, a style that will make him a fan favourite on the high road. 

Henry is excited to be with the Redhawks, commenting;

"Buzzing to get started with these boys next season! Always love playing against them and how hard they play. After speaking with Paynter I’m looking Forward to being a part of his plans and getting more success with a already very successful side! I’ve played with a lot of the lads before in juniors/seniors and I’m looking forward to being back with them and creating more memories! I must say it will be nice to be on the right side of the drum this time! Can’t wait to get started!"

Henry completes our defensive corps of Sam Waller, Tomasz Skokan, James Warman, Jordan Gregory, Jack Hoppes and Milique Martelly when available. 

Player Coach Paynter is pleased to secure Aiken, commenting;

"Bringing in a Defenseman like Aiken really shows how I want us to play defensively this season, I want a hard working, no nonsense presents at the back and Aiken brings exactly that. I want us to be hard to play against every night and other teams to know they’re not going to be getting a easy shift. 

Henry will put his body on the line by blocking shots and plays with his heart on his sleeve. I have had a number of conversations with him and he is a great guy that will fit in well with our group. It has been a pleasure battling against him for a number of years and I can’t wait to have him on our side of that battle this coming season."

Henry Aikens #11 game worn home, away and warm up jerseys are all available through our popular own and loan scheme. You can get your name or message on the back of his jersey(s) throughout the season and then you get to keep it once the season is done. We will wash out any game stains before you get hold of it (unless you prefer otherwise) so it really is a great offer.

To keep it fair, we ask that you email our management stating which of Henry’s jerseys you are interested in (home/away/warm up) and if we have multiple bids then we will draw names out of a hat. Jerseys are £100 and you can register interest by emailing:  streatham1972@yahoo.co.uk
