Oral HISTORY INTERVIEWS
Much of the history that we store in our heads is lost as we age or pass away. Oral history is the practice of recording people’s recollections and personal stories for the future.
Our oral history programme captures the ‘lived experiences’ of the hockey family: the great and the good of our sport; coaches, umpires, players and administrators from all backgrounds and levels of hockey.

Each interview offers unique insights into the game’s evolution, memorable moments, and the people who shaped hockey history.
