Bendigo to host inaugural Regional Hockey Coordinator

Hockey Victoria is pleased to announce that we are going to market to recruit a full time Regional Hockey Coordinator based in Bendigo.  The full-time role will service Hockey Central Victoria, Goulburn Valley Hockey Association, and North Central Hockey Association over the next 12 months. 

The role will primarily focus on building capacity and capability within all three Associations through the targeted delivery of coaching, umpiring, and administrator development.  The role will also support the Associations in recruitment and retention initiatives of new junior participants (Hookin2Hockey to Club Hockey) and projects identified by the Associations as areas of development. 

The role will be the first of its kind, based in Regional Victoria and will be used as a pilot model for the future deployment of Regional Hockey Coordinators in other target areas of Regional Victoria. 

Andrew Skillern - Chief Executive Officer of Hockey Victoria said, “This is a genuinely exciting development for our sport and a clear demonstration of collaboration across clubs, Associations and the governing body.

The growth of the game in our major regional centres like Bendigo and Shepparton is critical to the ongoing health and sustainability of the game in Victoria. 

We would like to thank Mark Bridge, Angela Poxon and Stephen Matthews for their commitment to the Regional Steering Committee throughout 2021.  The group’s passion, energy, and excitement to see this pilot program delivered in 2022 has been highly valued by the team at HV. “
