‘Joy to coach’: Telford hockey team benefits from mother and daughters

A family trio has been making waves in the local hockey scene as a mother and her two daughters take to the field together for Telford and Wrekin HC.

Last month 45-year-old Charlotte Goodwin and her daughters, Courtney and Megan Lancaster, 28 and 24 respectively, took to the pitch together playing in the same team.

Charlotte, who has been a devoted member of Telford and Wrekin for over 30 years, couldn’t be prouder. “Playing with my daughters is a dream come true,” she shared after their match against a touring Monmouth College team. “Hockey has always been a big part of our lives, and to share the pitch with Courtney and Megan is something I never imagined possible.”

Courtney and Megan, who have followed in their mother’s footsteps since a young age, are equally thrilled. “It’s amazing to play alongside Mum,” Courtney said.

“We’ve always looked up to her, and now we get to share these moments on the field together. It’s really special.” The family’s involvement with hockey expands further with Charlotte’s younger children, Brodie and Tiger-Lily, both playing for their respective age-group teams at the St George’s based club.

The family’s love for hockey is evident in their teamwork and communication on the field. Their understanding of each other’s play style has already translated into a successful partnership for Telford and Wrekin.

While they usually play for different teams within the club the trio ran out together in a friendly against Monmouth College which saw them contributing to a decisive 3-0 victory, with Charlotte scoring the final goal.

Their coach, Gary Stacey, is excited about the dynamic they bring to the squad. “It’s rare to see such a connection between players, and the girls have it naturally. They’re a joy to coach, and their presence is a huge asset to the club.”

“Charlotte, Courtney and Megan’s story is a testament to the power of family in sport, showcasing how shared passions can bring people together in the most extraordinary ways,” the club added.

“As they continue to play and grow together Telford and Wrekin Hockey Club is undoubtedly witnessing something truly special — a bond that transcends the game and will inspire many for years to come.”
