On Sunday evening, following Solihull\u2019s blistering win over the Blackburn Hawks to conclude the Moralee regular season, the Baron\u2019s Phil Lee was awarded the highest recognition the club can give a former player, that of seeing his shirt number, 88, retired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having just coached the Barons to their highest league position for nearly 20 years, Lee has cemented his status as one of the most important figures in club history. As a player his record is unrivalled, joining the Barons in 1986-87 from his native North East, he iced for the club a record breaking 17 seasons, only retiring from play at the age of 48, having amassed over 450 games as a Baron – a tally unlikely to be surpassed. He is also number three on the all time assists lists and the only homegrown d-man to sit in the top 10 of all-time Barons goal scorers.\u2026..and we haven\u2019t even mentioned the hip checks which sent many a fast breaking opposition forward cartwheeling and clattering down the ice!!!<\/p>\n
