“Since joining Hockey Mentors, doors opened for me. I didn’t have high levels of exposure to hockey as I’m a state school player. I’ve been fortunate enough to experience quality coaching, training, zoom sessions with GB players and matches. This allowed me to grow further as a person and as a player, believing in myself. Players come together from all over the country and we’ve all become friends. I look at Hockey Mentors as a family. They’ll look after you as a person and inspire you to be a better player. Thank you!”

“I joined Hockey Mentors at the start of the project and have enjoyed every aspect of it. I have met and played with some great players, mentors and coaches. I have been offered amazing support, this has included individual mentoring from experienced players, to guide me through the next stage of my development, been made captain of the team and assistance with university applications. All this has increased my confidence, improved my skills and grown my love for hockey. I hope to eventually come back as a mentor, to give back to this project that has given me so much”
