Hockey Victoria successfully tendered for and received a grant of $450,000 for the development of umpiring and coaching throughout regional Victoria.

Part of that process was for Hockey Geelong to advertise and appoint one person for the umpiring role and another for the coaching one.

It is with excitement that we are able to announce John Larkins as the Association Umpire Developer. He is well known around Geelong for umpiring and has enthusiasm to develop this area. John’s role is to work with the South West Regional Developer in Samantha Giorlando to develop umpiring within the Greater Geelong region.

The Association Coach Developer is Tom Griffin and he brings a great deal of experience to this role. Tom will be working with the South West Regional Developer in Paul Schram. Again the role is to develop the coaching within the Greater Geelong Region.

I am sure you will welcome them to their role.

Thanks to Peter Hill for managing the Hockey Geelong team in the Open Men`s competition at the Kings Birthday tournament held in Bendigo.

Hockey Geelong entered a team into this tournament but we did not initially have enough players to fill the team. Luckily, Jake managed to find some extras and the team took to the field with enthusiasm.

The team did not manage to win any games over the weekend but what they did do was manage to bond together as a team. They improved and worked as a team better in each game.

No negative comments were heard from the players, only positive comments. I believe that those who participated had fun despite the cold and wet conditions. Thanks to all who participated.

Congratulations to Jeff Sly on being awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the King’s Birthday Honours. 👏

Jeff has been Hockey Australia’s manager of the Men’s U21 Australian Country Representative Squad since 2017, Hockey Victoria’s manager of the Country Men’s Team since 2017, and coaches Ballarat’s representative teams.

Regionally, Jeff is a player, junior and senior coach, umpire, life member, former club president and committee member at Eureka and Golden City Hockey Club, and a former Senior Competition Committee chair at Hockey Ballarat.

Jeff is not only a dedicated member of the hockey community, he is also a newsreader, journalist, author, former chief of staff, news manager, and Channel Ten producer.

As well as these fantastic things Jeff Sly does, he is also a dedicated hockey dad!

Jeff`s son Joshua has joined the @hockeygeelongsharks Premier League team this year, so Jeff`s week now also includes driving Joshua from Ballarat to Geelong twice weekly for training, and then also for matches.

We cannot thank Jeff and people like him enough for all the time, effort, enthusiasm and support which he gives back to the hockey community.

Hockey Geelong is proud to join with EEC PROCUREMENT GROUP, a local business which collects our rubbish and recycling weekly.

This sponsorship is at the Bronze level and is well received. Our sponsorship leader in Tom Griffin was on hand for a photo opportunity to welcome Sean Callahan to Hockey Geelong.

Sean, the owner, has provided first class service for a number of years and is aligned with Hockey Geelong. Both believe in good and professional reliable service. Sean has gone out of his way at times when we have needed special collections like after our working bee.

If you have a need for any of EEC PROCUREMENT GROUP services then please support Sean and Hockey Geelong.

Well done to the dedicated hockey enthusiasts who travelled to Bendigo last weekend to represent Hockey Geelong at the Victorian Senior Country Championships.

It was a very typical King’s/Queen’s Birthday weekend with the rain keeping the teams company for much of the time.

Thanks to Georgie van Beek for co-ordinating the Women’s Masters team, and to Peter Hill, Daniel Glenn, Luke Cazaly and others who marshalled the troops for the open men’s team.

Umpiring Mentor Session Cancelled

The umpire session for Thursday 12th June at Stead Park has been cancelled.

It was too difficult to gain pitch time and with club training taking place we felt numbers would be limited.

We hope to transfer the session to a Saturday where the regional umpire developer in Samantha Giorlando may assist our umpires during their games. We do have such a session in August but it would be better to have one before that.
