Pen Pal Scheme

Learn from others and find out how diverse the hockey world is! This is a unique opportunity to make friends from around the world that will last a lifetime.

The Panel is looking to promote hockey as more than a game by giving youngsters the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of hockey worldwide. We feel it is important if hockey is to continue being strong in the world of sport that we are united. Learning from each other is the way forward. Sharing our experiences and culture means we find out more about hockey around the world, the differences and the similarities.

Any Hobart participant will tell you of the wide variety of knowledge they gained, from the well-developed hockey countries like Germany and Australia to the less developed like Uganda and Fiji. Sharing knowledge is such a valuable tool that will strengthen the worldwide youth hockey network.

Are you looking for a international hockey friend to communicate with? Then please fill out the  Pen Pal Application Form, which you can download HERE.
