Our Club is built on 3 pillars of Connection, Celebration and Contribution.
-
We Rise by lifting Others
We are a unique bunch of individuals. Different gender, ages, race, social class, personality types and yet we are forever connected by our achievements on a hockey pitch. We turned our childhood dreams into reality. At times we spent more time with each other than our own families. And yet once the final whistle was blown our connection faded. The Hockey Internationals Club aims to change this by building a network of amazing people and creating a “Beyond the Cap” campaign to ensure retiring players are supported on their journey to their next career.

If it was easy, everyone would do it
Hockey Internationals Club wants to celebrate you! We know how hard you worked to get to the top of your sport. You have the physical and mental scars to prove that whatever route you took- you made it to the top. It was never easy, nobody said it would be. But now you can look back on that chapter and know you wouldn’t have swapped it for the world. It made you who you are, and we think that deserves to be celebrated. The Club will endeavour to get together in person on a yearly basis to raise a glass to each other’s achievements. “Forever connected” by our desire to make the international team. Cheers to that!
