The Hockey Museum received great news just before Christmas; we had been named as a recipient of the FIH President’s Award in recognition of the Museum’s “Exceptional contribution to the legacy of our sport”.

The splendid, bejeweled and gold-coloured chain was presented at the FIH Congress in Delhi in November. England Hockey President Sue Bodycomb (above, left) accepted the award on behalf of THM and last month she was able to ‘bring the award home’ by presenting it to Museum Chair Katie Dodd (above, right) at the Hockey Writers’ Club Luncheon in London. On receipt of the award, Katie said:

“THM was honoured and delighted to have been recognised in this way by the President of the FIH. This award will undoubtedly help to raise the profile of the Museum and the importance of ensuring that the history and heritage of hockey is preserved and celebrated for the benefit of the wider hockey family.”
