News
Izzy McNally
ELHC are sad to announce the untimely death of our player Izzy McNally. Typical of his character, Izzy had converted from a midfielder to a goalkeeper with great commitment this season to plug a shortfall in the club, playing in up to 3 games a day to help the Mens 3s, 4s and 5s, who all stand a good chance of promotion this season. His passing has greatly affected all us teammates; we will all miss his personality, friendship and hockey skills. RIP Izzy

End of Season Dinner – 27th March 2010
The clubs annual "End of Season Dinner" is arguably the biggest social event of the year. The Dinner is going to be held at Med Kitchen on St John's Street near Angel Tube station on the 27th of March, 7:30 for 8:00pm.
Tickets will be available from your captains or from Dan Hyden or Vicky Dawson at a cost of £25 per head. This includes a 3 course meal, and a bottle of wine between two on the table.
Training
As numbers attending training are not quite as high as before Christmas we're just going to go back to having everyone train for the full 90 minutes for the rest of the season.
We're playing it a little by ear from week to week and will still be trying to split the group up for the last 30 minutes to give individual teams a chance to work on specifics but there is now plenty of room for everyone to be involved
It's still at the same time as always 8:30 – 10:00 Mondays at Mile End.
PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO THURSDAY NIGHT TRAINING SESSION CURRENTLY RUNNING
