Men’s Masters Over 40s World Cup Team announced

The Hockey Australia Masters Committee (HAMC) has released the names of the players selected to compete at the Masters Hockey World Cup Over 40 Men Division.

The team, to be coached by Gary Porteous, was determined following the recent Masters Invitational Event in Sydney and the call for online player nominations.

Darryl McCormick and Anthony Traill have been announced as co-captains for the tournament which is scheduled to be held from 12-21 August 2022 in Nottingham, England.

While the team has been selected, the HAMC reiterates participation in the tournament is pending approval by Hockey Australia and the continual monitoring of the COVID situation internationally.

As HAMC Chair Sue Briggs stated previously, the viability of the teams travelling to their respective World Cups may be affected by risk assessments undertaken by Hockey Australia, the possibility of changing conditions due to COVID in the locations hosting the events and any decisions made by World Masters Hockey.

The HAMC congratulates the players selected and thanks everyone who nominated for selection. Further details will be provided to those selected in due course.
