The Essendon hockey Club has reached a very exciting point in its development, winning 17 A grade /State league Premierships has not been an easy feat, the club has now embarked upon a development stratergy that will see our next crop of budding superstars given the Technical coaching and Development opportunities that others can only hope for. This new era of technical skill development will see the success that has become expected of the Essendon Hockey Club continue to grow. 2012 sees the launching of this plan which includes the Essendon Hockey Academy, designed to develop and craft the skills needed to succeed at the next level, keeping Essendon on the cutting edge of player development, all of this will be achieved by utilising current national and international players and coaches.
The Essendon Hockey Club would like to thank its Corporate Sponsors for season 2011, without the help and support of such caring and passionate companies such as ABS Surfaces, Digital Pigeon, Tibaldi Meats, Brad Teal Real Estate , Little Creatures Brewery and many others this club would not be able to operate as efficiently and professionally as it currently does.
