Restructure: Clubs need to understand what England Hockey proposals actually mean

NORTH OPINION
By Howard Green, Deeside Ramblers HC chairman

All looks quiet on the surface but underneath the Bisham Abbey spin master feet are paddling furiously pushing the story that the hockey community is all in favour of the proposals to be put to the EH AGM in March.

As for the contrarian view? Well, we care about the quality of the product which in this case is the quality of league hockey. Quality games attract and keep people engaged in the sport. They provide a perspective of where development can take them, and it is a major factor in player retention.
