The partnership will support young players aged 4-18, from the minis programme through to the U14, U16 and U18 groups, helping the Club provide opportunities for young people to get involved in hockey, develop their skills and progress through the different age groups.
The partnership reflects our longstanding commitment to Guernsey and to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate. By working with Guernsey Hockey Club, we aim to strengthen the pathway for young players, from their first introduction to the sport through to the older junior age groups.
Matt Sanders, Managing Partner of Walkers in Guernsey, said:
‘We’re proud to begin this three-year partnership with Guernsey Hockey Club and support the next generation of hockey in Guernsey. Sport has an important role to play in bringing young people together, building confidence and creating opportunities to develop, both on and off the pitch. We’re looking forward to working with the Club and seeing its young players progress over the next three years.’
Iain Stokes, CEO of Guernsey Hockey Club, said:
‘We are delighted to welcome Walkers as principal sponsor of Guernsey Hockey Club and exclusive sponsor of our minis and juniors. Developing young players is central to the future of hockey in Guernsey, and partnerships such as this help us provide opportunities for children and young people to get involved in the sport and continue developing as players. We are very grateful to Walkers for its support and look forward to working together over the next three years.’
