Brooke is eyeing her third Olympics this year and recently celebrated her 200th cap for the Hockeyroos at the Perth International Festival of Hockey in April 2024. It was a full circle moment after she made her debut in Perth, almost 11 years earlier in 2013. Following the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 Brooke cruelly missed the 2022 World Cup and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games after suffering a quad injury in a World Cup warm up game. Brooke took up hockey at the age of four and becoming an Olympian runs in the family, seeing as her cousin Nova Peris won gold with the Hockeyroos in Atlanta in 1996. Brooke’s grandmother was born at Moola Bulla Station in WA and is Kidiji Women. Her Grandfather was born in Broome and is a Jaru Man. Brooke is a member of the Ngarrawanji Native. |
