It was the England Hockey awards dinner last night and it gave us great pleasure to give recognition for the hard work and high standards of hockey’s volunteers, coaches and players alike.
They’re a fantastic example to everyone within the sport and of course there are hundreds of others involved in hockey around the country who could have won awards for their contributions.
You can find a photo gallery from the night on England Hockey’s Facebook page.
