Welcome To Hockey 2009

With the 2009 competition season now upon us, welcome to all new players and parents whose boys are starting their hockey career at Scotch. Also of course, welcome back to those many families returning to experience another enjoyable and exciting season, following on last year’s great success on and off the field.

This year we are all looking forward to hearing the wonderful experiences of our boys who are participating in the Argentina Tour in early April. This amazing trip continues to strengthen the tradition of international and domestic tours organised by Scotch’s dedicated band of hockey teachers and coaches.

The Montgomery Club was formed in 2005 to support, promote and raise the profile of hockey at Scotch. It works to provide a forum for, and to organise functions to bring together, all the Scotch hockey community - in order to contribute to the support, growth and fun of the sport at Scotch. Success in these of course relies on the active participation and contribution of ideas from parents and supporters of the boys. Please help by getting involved with the Club through attending our major events – Welcome BBQ Breakfast; Film Night and Awards Night – and contributing to the Club’s planning. This year we also plan a start of season hockey supporters’ social evening, so please join in.

All interested supporters are welcome at our Montgomery Club Meetings which are held about five times during the year. So come along, make some new friends in the hockey community and help grow the excitement for our players.
