ABOUT THUNDER
Founded in 2001
Milton Keynes Thunder was created to offer talented young athletes opportunities at senior level without financial burden. The Club’s excellent facility access and robust team of volunteers provide a solid foundation for a project which aims to maximise player development and create an environment that enables people to thrive.
Thunder originally joined and played in the ENL from the early 00s until 2012, then moving into NIHL 1 South where the club has remained for over a decade. Thunder have a history of development, you can find a full list of players with an international cap who have represented the club in our ‘Hall of Fame’
As an organisation we work closely with Milton Keynes Lightning, and Milton Keynes Storm to facilitate player development locally. We also have strong relationships with England Ice Hockey, both at an organisational and international representation level, ensuring our young players have access to opportunities to represent their country.
Registered charity status
Thunder were awarded charitable status in 2023, adding to the club’s sense of community and accomplishment. Our charitable objectives continue to be service to our local and regional community, and provide a talent pathway for athletes regardless of the socio/economic status or background.
We are a family, and everyone involved with, or interacting with our program is treated as such.
