Today is the day - grassroots Hockey is finally back ... at last! 
To celebrate the return of ‘stick and ball’, I will be expanding the narrative around, and shining a light on our wonderful #HockeyFamily over the next 2 weeks.

To celebrate the return of ‘stick and ball’, I will be expanding the narrative around, and shining a light on our wonderful #HockeyFamily over the next 2 weeks.

By doing so, I hope that I can highlight the diverse community that our #HockeyFamily represents and the community that our sport should feel proud to be associated with.
So grab a cuppa and enjoy hearing some of the untold stories of our sport!
