Hockey Rumours

All the latest news/rumours from English hockey and hockey from around the world.

[Richmond Hockey Club @RichmondHCSkip]

I'm not one for a Twitter moan but at the pointy end of the ⁦@EnglandHockey⁩ League season how can ⁦@BBCSport⁩ #hockey page look like this ? ⁦

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

If @rob_turner1 hadn't been able to get his left glove back on in time... This save would have been even more impressive!

[Galvanised Hockey @GalvanisdHockey]

You won't see many better saves than this!

[Toby Roche @TobyRoche1]

Really @EnglandHockey? No disrespect to these teams but is this really the game you decide to feature? Another example of your failure to promote the domestic game 👏👏👏

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

@Janne_MW @FIH_Hockey Flying headbutts are allowed aren't they?...

[Janne Müller-Wieland @Janne_MW]

So apparently this is not an obstruction. You have to protect the players, especially if someone is literally jumping into the 1st runner. #9 clearly did not want to do a backhand deflection 1m in front of the flicker. #concussion #playbytherules #safetyfirst #hockey @FIH_Hockey

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

Anyone ever seen Simon Faulkner flick in the air?
10 years & GK's still choosing to concede doing the "right" thing rather than log & make saves but risk looking weird.

[Hockey Match Teas @hockeymatchteas]

Looks like @blackpoolhockey have had a security issue on their account. That, or their men's squad have been topic of conversation...

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

@EnglandHockey should scrap the centralised system. Pump money into clubs and get cameras at every Prem game. Then select the most in-form players like @ArjanDrayton22 and @flanny91

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

@GalvanisdHockey should show the top 10 goals from all UK leagues each week

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

A classic @georgietwigg infringement of @FIH_Hockey rule 13.7j which states "Using a ‘dragging’ action to play the ball at a penalty stroke is not permitted." #nogoal

[Great Britain Hockey @GBHockey]

#ThrowbackThursday to 2013 when @georgietwigg converted this penalty stroke & @SamanthaQuek made a crucial tackle against 🇨🇳

Who's excited for 🇬🇧🆚🇨🇳 this Saturday in the #FIHProLeague?

[Lines + Circles @_andcircles]

Hockey faces a couple of dilemmas...
Wants to be a 'pro' sport yet remaining with 'family community' costumes?
Wants to become popular yet doesn't invest and empower solid club (domestic) competitions structure.
Identity struggles...

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

As much as we critisise them, we can't play the game without them. Hats off to anyone who officiates the game 👏

[England Hockey @EnglandHockey]

'You can never expect to win. We have lots of great officials in our country & at many different levels. Not everyone gets to umpire the finals, but they still play a Magnificent role.’ Lee Barron - Official of the year 2018

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

7 points from 12 games for lacklustre Wombles after loss to Brooklands Flanchester Uni. @BrooklandsHC shedding their "yo-yo team" title

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

Expert stick-blocking 👏

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

Or kicking back and concede...

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

@GBHockey in need of some baseline magic from @7Forsyth!
#FIHProleague

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

Beautiful views of the city this morning. Deals being made #rumour

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

Goal. Look where the ball is when the whistle is blown, then he has self-passes. Good umpiring!

[Galvanised Hockey @GalvanisdHockey]

What would you give if you were the umpire? Goal or no goal? Let us know!

[Hockey Rumours @EHLrumours]

You say rest. We say he was injured training with the development squad... #rumour

[Great Britain Hockey @GBHockey]

No new #SmithSkillzSkool this week as @DRhysyB takes a well earned rest 😴

But that just gives you more time to master last week's skill - 'Bounce Wid It' 🏑
