SO... you want to be a professional?...
Life as a professional hockey player with SCHC Hi Guys, Having been in Holland training and playing with SCHC for the past month I thought now it would be a good time to give a summary of what has been going on so far. I arrived on the 1st of September following a great tournament in Paris with the national team not knowing what quite to expect from my move to Utrecht. My very first impressions...

Back to Basics
Back to Basics Footwork…. A task or necessity? Personally I believe it is not only a necessity but can be great fun if performed and coached in the most desirable way.
