MK Lightning are raring to go after making the step up to ice hockey's top-flight competition.

They are about to begin a new season in the Elite League.

The Buckinghamshire team, who have recruited 14 new players from around the world, won two trophies last season.

With a higher league comes higher costs - the club has seen its budget increase by 40% this year to cope with new league demands.
