Last year, I spent some time speaking about my struggles with mental health and its impact on my sporting endeavours.
The scene is in Brussels, less than 24 hours after Belgium’s Red Lions, the men’s field hockey team had secured the country’s first ever World Cup title.
When the dust settled on the 2018 Hockey WA Men’s Premier League season Ian Smyth’s sense of satisfaction may have been more justified than others.
Almost five years to the day, my friend Gus Johnston shared a remarkably candid video on YouTube that laid bare the harsh reality of homophobia in sport.
“The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.” My Dad sent me this Jim Hightower quotation via text some time ago, and it caught me at an opportune moment.
The Netherlands will play Great Britain in the gold medal match of the women’s hockey competition at the Rio 2016 Olympics Games at 6am (AEST) on Saturday, 20 August.
The Hockeyroos have followed the Australian men’ hockey team out of the Rio Olympics in the quarter-final stage, going down to the New Zealand Blacksticks overnight.
It’s all over for the Australians in the men’s hockey. The Kookaburras have lost to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals in a bitterly disappointing ending to a fairly lacklustre tournament.
The Australian Hockeyroos have confirmed their qualification for the Rio Olympic Games quarter-finals with a two-goal victory over the lowly ranked Japan.
It is time in Australia. We need a professional hockey coaches association.
During the 1980s and the early part of the 90s Hockey in Australia had a broad base of support and people playing the sport across the country.
Moritz Furste of Germany showed a great display of grit, determination and killer instinct in their crucial quarter-final game against New Zealand in the men’s hockey at the Olympics.
The Rio Olympics Hockey competition reaches its quarter-final stage with an in-form and strong looking New Zealand side squaring off against rivals the Australian Hockeyroos who must improve and have plenty to prove. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 11pm (AEST).
