Martelly link up with MK agreed

Streatham IHC Head Coach Michael Farn, a former player with MKL himself said: 

“When I signed Milique in advance of the current season, I knew he would become a valuable member of our team but the impact he has had in such a short space of time is no surprise with the commitment and hard work he brings every time we are at the rink.

"It’s vital that Milique gets the opportunity to skate as much as he can and continue his development. Having this 2 way with MK is a great opportunity for Milique which will be a great benefit to both clubs.

"I’d like to thank Cliff (MK Coach Lewis Clifford) and MKL for allowing Milique this opportunity and I know he will be in good hands as and when he is available to ice in MK.”

Milique has 1 goal and 8 assists in Streatham colours so far this year and said: 

“I’m really happy to have signed the two way with MK Lightning. I’ve had an unreal last couple weeks with the team and coaches and it made my decision easy! The support Cliff and Michael Farn have given me and my parents to make the decision has been great. I really couldn’t have asked for more”

MK Lightning play a longer fixture list than ourselves, including midweek games meaning Milique won't be short of game time.

AIB MKL Head Coach Lewis Clifford said: 

“Obviously it’s plain to see how talented Milique is, I have heard loads of people around the rink talking about him since his cameo appearance last Saturday, bringing him in on a more formal basis will be great not only for us as a club, but also for his development and, in turn, for his team in Streatham.”

“I know there are other teams in the league that would have liked to take Milique on a two way or even as a full time player, but I must thank Michael Farn for helping him come to this decision as we know each other well and he knows MK is a great fit for this arrangement.”

“We will use Milique as much as possible when he doesn’t have a game with Streatham, and I will be in constant contact with Farny regarding his performances for both clubs and what we can both do as coaches to help push him towards his undoubted potential.”

Streatham are in action twice this weekend with a road trip to Romford on Saturday followed by a home game against Chelmsford Chieftains on Sunday at 18:45. Tickets for Sunday's game are available online now.
