Success Stories

“Since joining Hockey Mentors my game has improved drastically. This is thanks to the opportunities I’ve had, particularly being coached by past and present international hockey players as well as being supported by my mentor, Morgan Males. Being part of Hockey Mentors has also given me the chance to play so much more hockey and with great players my age. It’s been brilliant to play with them against some of the best schools in the country. Not only has my hockey improved but I have also made loads of new friends who all come from similar backgrounds to me”

Izzy Duck (England U16)

“My whole experience with HM has been amazing! Coming from a Non-hockey playing State school, I don’t get the programmes and opportunities provided by Private Schools but HM has helped bridge that gap for me. Mentoring by Mollie has been so helpful and I’ve loved our conversations. Then the camps….Wow, playing at Lee Valley and being taught by the best! The likes of Nick Bandurak, Jake Owen, Mollie Mason and Morgan Males to name a few…what an experience! I can’t wait for more next year”
