Meet the dedicated trustees and staff who help bring the legacy of hockey to life. Together with our partners, we preserve and promote the origins and evolution of our great sport. Prepare to be captivated by historical stories, absorbing oral histories and heartfelt obituaries that shine a long-overdue light onto hockey’s fascinating past.
Discover the latest news, ground-breaking research and our programme of exhibitions and events. Learn about our treasured collections and archives and how you can utilise them, or reach out to us with an enquiry.
