The Hockey Show crew was fortunate enough to be up in our nation’s capital for the play-offs of the AHL on Saturday. Despite Victoria’s disappointing final position in the tournament it was thrilling to witness the individual success of some of the Vic boys – gaining selection in the Beijing Olympic Squad. You can see a full list of the squad in No.3′s post on the forum, but on behalf of the entire crew and no doubt the entire hockey community our sincere congratulations go to Trav Brooks, Luke Doerner, Andrew Smith, Stephen Mowlam and Russell Ford (pictured below). Five Players into the Olympic squad is a fantastic achievement. We’re all extremely proud!

The Hockey Show will be closely following their preparation for the games in August and will keep you updated as news, or more importantly gossip, comes to hand.

It was also brilliant to see Glenn Simpson, Ian Smyth and Chris Ciriello all in the development squad. They will all hopefully be pushing for selection in the London Squad in 2012.

Stay tuned for more on THS’s road trip to Canberra as well some video updates and footage from the series.
