We are very active on our Facebook page and all the information you need can be found on there at www.facebook.com/ HalifaxRollerHockeyClub” 2015 “The atmosphere is very good at the moment! They are a great team to work with and everybody, including myself, has learned so much. We are currently in the middle of a five week off-season but we ended the season very well in July and I know the team is already itching to get back to training. The season gets underway again in September and the Premier League team will be back in training in the next few weeks. Premier League survival is our main priority again though we will try to kick on and improve on our 7th place finish from last season. We have already signed one new player from one of the top teams in the country and I am hoping to add at least one more in the coming weeks. We will also be conducting a large recruitment drive to grow our junior teams with a view to having squads competing regionally in every possible age group by the 2016/17 season.” Community “We are absolutely a community club. The club is extremely well run both in terms of organisational and financial requirements and everyone gets involved in some aspect of running the club other than playing or coaching. We have a committee that is made up of current and ex-players, parents, coaches and referees. We have frequent social events and these are done for the whole club rather than individual playing age groups. For example, the whole club is going go-karting in September for a pre-season get-together.” 52 Issue 10
