Smitty: 100 and counting

We at The Hockey Show don’t mince words when it comes to Andrew Smith. It’d be fair to say, we reckon he’s an alright bloke and a great hockey player to boot.

Since earning slection in the Australian squad in 2002, it’s been an interesting ride for our man – the Smit-Dawg. He’s had plenty of success and his fair share of setbacks along the way, but through it all, he’s kept his integrity and reputation as one of the nicest blokes going ’round.

The 191cm man mountain is an imposing unit in full stride and it’s little wonder he’s bagged himself some 40 odd international goals in his time with the Kookaburras. However, tonight Smitty reaches an even more significant milestone in his hockey career. As he takes the field in Darwin versus China, the 29 year old will be playing in his 100th international game.

A sterling effort and one that we at The Hockey Show, and no doubt all the Victorian hockey community, applaud.

Well done Smit.

Snag a couple for us.
