ELITE back the Jags-News Announcement from ELITE Hockey Ltd
I am delighted and proud to announce ELITE Hockey Ltd will be backing the Southampton Jags Inline Hockey Club for the upcoming seasons.

They have been competing in the higher tier of the sport for over 25 years and are a well established name within the UK and Europe.
From their first session I attended I was very impressed with the very welcoming general manager Steven Jeffery. You could see straightaway how well he has this club run by their professionalism and attitude shown from each and all of his players and staff.
I was made to feel very welcome by Steve who introduced me to his Head Coach Vas Stefanopoulos who then in turn introduced me to his Captain Craig Weedon and Assistants James Wiggins and Lee Brown.
Straightaway I got the impression I wasn't joining just a team but looking at a family that sticks together. They were all a bunch of great guys who took the time to get to know me and ask me about the ELITE branding and future plans.
I was quite surprised when Vas ask me to take part in the team session as it was my first time on wheels but I found it very enjoyable but challenging at the same time, the session was great and you could tell that I had joined a team who play a high level of hockey. All the lads were great helping me make the transition from ice to inline and felt I learnt a lot that day.
From my point of view though I enjoyed it very much and cant wait to start going out more regularly with the guys.
After the session I got great feedback from all the players about the ELITE sticks and gloves. They loved the stick especially commenting when taking shots they get a real 'pop' taking snapshots and with the gloves its a match made in heaven.
Another thing that drew me to the Jags was how they compete internationally on a regular basis and that they are an established name abroad.
Our first venture together will be on weekend of May 12th 2018, the lads and I will be off to Belgium to compete in the 3 Stars tournament. ELITE hockey will be going out with the Jags who will be using the latest ELITE Max sticks.
Our cameras will be following the Jags for their live documentary, and will be filmed from start to finish with behind the scenes games footage and real time feedback of the ELITE sticks/gloves being used.
ELITE Hockey will also be sponsoring the MVP of the tournament with various goodies, so it should be a great weekend of hockey!
