The Volunteers and Committee 2022

Meet The Hockey Committee

The committee is made up of some of the most dedicated people the club has. Giving up their spare time coaching, attending meetings, engaging with parents, members and juniors to answer any questions they may have. They often go above and beyond what their role is and you can tell because of the success of the club over the past few seasons. 

They are simply amazing and the most enthusiastic, dedicated bunch of people anywhere, we’re very proud of them all.
