The Hockey Museum is now receiving material and collections almost every week and they are far from all being about international players and great feats.

A recent addition is about (George) Herbert Morton, who was a tireless worker for hockey in the early years of the last century. Without people like Herbert Morton hockey would not have developed into the sport it is today. Illness cut short his playing career so he turned to umpiring and administration. He was treasurer of both Cheshire and the North and clearly helped to organise events whenever called upon. With the whistle he achieved distinction, umpiring the North and Cheshire many times as well as eleven international matches.

If you know of any material relating to the history of hockey do please contact us.
