The Waterloo Ducks Hockey Club (WatDucks) completed a remarkable victory on Monday, defeating German powerhouse Rot-Weiss Koln 4-0 in the Euro Hockey League (EHL) final.
Last year, I spent some time speaking about my struggles with mental health and its impact on my sporting endeavours.
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.

Recently on The Roar, I proposed a major shake-up to the top grade’s of hockey in Western Australia.
Australia’s under 21 men’s hockey team has warmed up for December’s Junior World Cup by winning the Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia.
There has been a lot of talk recently about the amount of funding that goes into elite sport, with hockey coping it as a team sport that delivered disappointing results at the Rio Olympics.
