WHAT IS HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT?
• To bring hockey in your country to a higher level;
• To promote the sport in his best possible way: field – indoor & beach hockey;
• To create the maximum number of clubs & talents;
• To have a national team what serves national sport and not the other way around;
• We believe in the creative way: not focusing on artificial pitches but on hockey.
