Get onto the HV website this and fill out the survey for the betterment of Hockey in Victoria (and to maybe win a $300 stick!):

The competition review will potentially have massive implications, and the info used in the responses will help HV make decisions about the future structure of the entire competition.  This will have ramifications for every player involved in Victorian hockey – so its in everyone’s interest to participate.

Let’s make sure that HV get as many responses as possible from a broad a range of people so the data they get takes into account everyone’s opinion.

THS noticed this on Hockey Victoria’s site and thought it worth a reprint.

Maximum Kudos to the boys. Less so for the milestone, than their unwavering loyalty. Every club needs players like this.

Keep dribblin’

From: Hockey Victoria 22.07.10

This weekend, two stalwarts of the Hawthorn Hockey Club play in milestone matches of the highest order. Sean Jenner – 200 State League 1 (SL1) matches and Charlie Tulloch – 150.

Jenner and Tulloch’s combined 350 games in SL1 do not capture the games played in Hawthorn’s top team in the mid to late ’90s when they started playing State League 3 (SL3) and State League 2 (SL2) hockey.

In the mid to late ’90s, the pair worked together for five years to lead the Hawks from SL3 to SL1, picking up two premierships (SL3 and SL2) along the way.

Since 2000, these lads have gone on to play a further 350 games (combined) in SL1, and were a massive part of the club’s recent success.

They played a big part in bringing Hawthorn to the top of the Victorian club ladder and cemented Hawthorn’s place in the top 3 on the SL1 every year between 2003 and 2008, the year in which Hawthorn won the SL1 Premiership.

Sean has played in 15 SL1 finals with the Hawks and Charlie has played in 13. Charlie also won the club best and fairest award in 1998 and 1999.

These two have been a long-time feature of our top side, playing positive and exciting hockey.

To those of you out there who have an opinion about something that is happening in hockey and want the opportunity to voice it – your time has come.

In case you haven’t noticed the crew that created The Hockey Show have been very busy with a lot of things that aren’t to do with The Hockey Show, which has meant we haven’t been posting many articles of late. Unfortunately it looks like this trend is set to continue – so instead of doing nothing, we thought we’d ask you to do the work for us.

The Hockey Show would like to wish everyone a great start to the season.

For some it’s been a loooo00ong preseason, for others, we hope you enjoy your first training session last night. Whatever grade you play, have a good one.

See you on the forums, and keep dribblin’

That’s all…just thought we’d get a bit excited.

Woot Woot!

We’ve been swamped with suggestions for the look-a-likes piece. So thanks for everyone’s contribution.

We now start the process of compiling and sorting your suggestions.

The top 20 is on its way! We’ll give you extra points for guessing who the late Rodney Dangerfield reminded someone of.

Stay tuned.

We would like to congratulate Adam ‘Bartos’ Barty on his successful nomination to the casual vacancy on the board of directors of Hockey Victoria.

As a result of his appointment in order to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest Bartos has taken a leave of absence from his role with The Hockey Show which means he will no longer contribute articles to this site, make forum posts or moderate our forums.

We wish him all the best in his endeavors on the HV board.
