During the 2008-09 season, the Guildford Flames participated in the semi-professional English Premier Ice Hockey League. It was the 17th year of Ice Hockey played by the Guildford Flames and the second season under Paul Dixon as head coach. During the summer Dixon worked to improve the defensive line by shipping out Dominic Hopkins and Ben Johnson, replacing them with 17-year-old Steven Lee〔() Official Release, Published Summer 2008〕 who had already played two seasons with Elite League side Hull, and bringing toughness to the team in the form of Mark Williams〔() Official Release, Published Summer 2008〕 from Romford. Other departures included fringe player Ben Duggan who was replaced by Matt Hepburn〔() Official Release, Published Summer 2008〕 from the juniors. The main talking point over the summer was the departure of long time top goal scorer Jozef Kohut,〔() Official Release, Published Summer 2008〕 leaving the team with what many believed was a weak offence. After an indifferent start to the season with 3 wins and 3 losses, it was announced on 9 October that the Flames would travel to Slovakia and take part in an exhibition against Extraliga side Poprad in a game opened by the Queen during her state visit to the country.〔() Official Release, Published 9 October 2008〕 After a poor run of results in November and a multiple game ban for import Vaclav Zavoral, the decision was taken to sign Czech Martin Bouz.〔() Official Release, Published 19 November 2008〕 A surprise departure was the main feature of January with Mark Williams 〔() Official Release, Published January, 2008〕 leaving to pursue work commitments and to play closer to home with the Romford Raiders. ==League table== Final Table () Secured Play-off Berth.
