As we close the chapter on Season 2026, it’s hard to hide the disappointment. Missing the finals for the first time hurts, and it’s not the way any of us wanted this season to end.

But one season doesn’t define who we are. Adversity builds character, and this group has shown time and time again that we’re capable of bouncing back stronger. We’ll learn from the setbacks, work harder than ever, and come back with a renewed hunger.

To our players, coaches, volunteers, supporters, and everyone who stood by us this season—thank you for your unwavering commitment. Your support means everything.

As we head into 2027, we’re also celebrating a milestone—Brisbane Lightning turns 5. Five years of growth, memories, challenges, and incredible people helping build this club into what it is today.

And who knows... turning five might just mean it’s time for Brisbane Lightning to get a little glow up. 👀⚡

This isn’t the end of our story—it’s the start of an exciting new chapter.

Season 2027 is already in our sights, and we can promise one thing: we’ll be back stronger, hungrier, and ready to make our mark.

Onwards and upwards.

See you in 2027.

Weekend wrap-up 💥

Two tough losses to close out the season, but what a season it’s been. 🤍🖤

A massive thank you to our incredible fans for showing up, backing our boys and making this season so special. We couldn’t have done it without you! ⚡️

A major milestone for our #15 Thomas Kiliwnik! After our final game of the season, at home, Thomas played his 100th AIHL game! Thomas has been with us for four seasons, and we have loved every minute. Thank you Tommy!

And that’s 2026 done! Not the ending we wanted, but that’s hockey for you. Thank you to all our fans, sponsors, friends and family who make it all worth it! We couldn’t do this without you guys. Have a great off season and we’ll see you all next year!

In the second last game of the season, our very own #87 Batu Gendunov scored a hat trick in an insanely high scoring game! Don’t forget to tune in today to see if he can do it again ⚡️
