The '''Milton Keynes Thunder''' are an [[ice hockey]] team from [[Milton Keynes]], Buckinghamshire, they are known stylistically as Thunder. The team currently competes in the Britton Conference, of the National Ice Hockey League Division 1 South (the third tier of English National Ice Hockey). The team was founded in 2001 predominantly to provide competitive hockey and further development opportunities for players leaving the Milton Keynes Junior Ice Hockey system. Their home rink is the refurbished and renamed Planet Ice Arena, known locally as the Thunderdome. It has a capacity of circa 2,500. |
|||
==Club history== |
|||
The '''Milton Keynes Thunder''' are an [[ice hockey]] team from [[Milton Keynes]], [[England]] and are the second team in the city behind [[Milton Keynes Lightning]]. They currently play in the [[English National Ice Hockey League]] (ENIHL) South Division One league. The team is committed to youth development with practically all players coming from the Milton Keynes junior ice hockey system. |
|||
== |
===Foundation=== |
||
Founded in 2001, MK Thunder originally shared their home rink with the [[Milton Keynes Kings]]. However, the MK Kings were involved in a dispute with rink operators Planet Ice, which led to their relocation to [[Solihull]] in May 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/sport/MK-Kings-live-on-.245451.jp |title=MK Kings live on in Solihull|publisher=Milton Keynes Citizen|date=May 2002}}</ref> The space left by the MK Kings was eventually taken by the [[Milton Keynes Lightning]] which was formed in 2002. |
|||
===Season-by-season record=== |
|||
''Last 5 seasons, league stats only'' |
|||
===Position in the Milton Keynes Ice Hockey structure=== |
|||
As the second most senior ice hockey club in Milton Keynes, the MK Thunder have always played in the National Ice Hockey League South Division 1 or its former incarnations (English National League South, English National League South A and English National League South 1). It has been used as a vehicle to further develop Milton Keynes based players and has been a 'feeder' club for the senior hockey club Milton Keynes Lightning. The teams iced by the club have been dominated by local players, supplemented by the occasional import (league rules restrict the use of import players to just two, compared to five in the defunct old second tier [[EPIHL]] and eleven in the first tier [[EIHL]]). The club also has links with the junior system and provides development opportunities for junior players at the Milton Keynes Storm Club. |
|||
===Arena redevelopment=== |
|||
'''Note:''' GP = Games played, W = Wins, L = Losses, T = Ties, Pts = Points, GF = Goals for, GA = Goals against'' |
|||
In March 2013, [[Milton Keynes (borough)|Milton Keynes Council]] approved plans to redevelop the Leisure Plaza after failed attempts in 2006 and 2011. The development of the arena was funded by [[Morrisons]] Supermarkets and took 17 months to complete. This forced Thunder to play their home games at a temporary rink sited within the Milton Keynes City Centre in a building vacated by the Supermarket [[Waitrose]]. The rink and the MK ICE charity established to operate it was organised by the team's owner and the then general manager, David Fairhurst. The team returned to the redeveloped rink which had been renamed the "MK Arena" in October 2014. |

==Jerseys== |

:League, Cup & Play Offs; as at end of 2021/22 Season (Players with under 20 appearances not included) |
|||
At the end of the 2005–06 season the club's original jersey's were auctioned off to fund new designs for the 2006–07 season. The jersey features yellow letters and numbers on the rear with the word "thunder" printed across the bottom, with yellow numbers on both sleeves with a small thunder logo shoulder patch. Traditionally the white jersey is worn for home games, the black jersey for road games, however there have been occasions when this jersey has been worn for home fixtures due to colour clashes with visiting teams. |

The Milton Keynes Thunder are an ice hockey team from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, they are known stylistically as Thunder. The team currently competes in the Britton Conference, of the National Ice Hockey League Division 1 South (the third tier of English National Ice Hockey). The team was founded in 2001 predominantly to provide competitive hockey and further development opportunities for players leaving the Milton Keynes Junior Ice Hockey system. Their home rink is the refurbished and renamed Planet Ice Arena, known locally as the Thunderdome. It has a capacity of circa 2,500.
Club history
[edit]Foundation
[edit]Founded in 2001, MK Thunder originally shared their home rink with the Milton Keynes Kings. However, the MK Kings were involved in a dispute with rink operators Planet Ice, which led to their relocation to Solihull in May 2002.[1] The space left by the MK Kings was eventually taken by the Milton Keynes Lightning which was formed in 2002.
Position in the Milton Keynes Ice Hockey structure
[edit]As the second most senior ice hockey club in Milton Keynes, the MK Thunder have always played in the National Ice Hockey League South Division 1 or its former incarnations (English National League South, English National League South A and English National League South 1). It has been used as a vehicle to further develop Milton Keynes based players and has been a 'feeder' club for the senior hockey club Milton Keynes Lightning. The teams iced by the club have been dominated by local players, supplemented by the occasional import (league rules restrict the use of import players to just two, compared to five in the defunct old second tier EPIHL and eleven in the first tier EIHL). The club also has links with the junior system and provides development opportunities for junior players at the Milton Keynes Storm Club.
Arena redevelopment
[edit]In March 2013, Milton Keynes Council approved plans to redevelop the Leisure Plaza after failed attempts in 2006 and 2011. The development of the arena was funded by Morrisons Supermarkets and took 17 months to complete. This forced Thunder to play their home games at a temporary rink sited within the Milton Keynes City Centre in a building vacated by the Supermarket Waitrose. The rink and the MK ICE charity established to operate it was organised by the team's owner and the then general manager, David Fairhurst. The team returned to the redeveloped rink which had been renamed the "MK Arena" in October 2014.
Club honours
[edit]The Milton Keynes Thunder lifted their first silverware when they secured the NIHL South BBO Cup in the 2016–17 season.
