The 2024 Falkland Islands Hockey Association Inline and Dek Hockey Awards held in March 2024 brought together the brightest stars of the hall, honouring players who have shown exceptional skill, dedication, and sportsmanship. The evening was a spectacular celebration of hockey talent, with the generous sponsorships making it all possible. From Peewees to Seniors, the event highlighted incredible performances across all divisions.

The 2024 awards season was a showcase of the hard work, determination, and passion that each player brings to the game. This year’s event not only celebrated the players’ accomplishments but also reflected the growing excitement and strength of the hockey community in the Falkland Islands. Whether you’re a young Peewee or a seasoned Senior, the awards provided an exciting opportunity to honour these athletes who push their limits every time they step onto the hall.

Thanks to the generous support of sponsors : Argos Group Limited, Beauchene Fishing Company Ltd, Byron Marine , Chandlery & Chandlery Express,  Consolidated Fisheries Limited, Energise, Falkland Beerworks, Fortuna, GK Services, International Tours and Travel, MAAZ Tours and Travel, Martech, National Sports Council Falkland Islands, Penguin Travel, Polar Seafish, SAAS, Shorty’s Building Services, Southern Cross Limited, Stephen Jaffray Memorial Fund, SURE and Tonedog Design, the hockey community continues to grow and thrive.

Great news for Hockey!

The Falkland Islands Hockey Association is now a limited charity.  This will not impact the games that you all love to play or the general interaction players have with the Association.

It does allow us to now have better access to funding for kit, equipment, tournaments etc. It also means the AGM will need to change slightly, which is the only major difference.

Now you will have to become a member of the charity before being able to attend or vote at the AGM.  Whereas before you could attend as a player or guardian of a player.  Becoming a member is free, and you do not need to be a player, a parent of a player, or even have played before to be a member, however some connection to the association is a requirement.

Membership is free, although you will be liable to a members guarantee of £1 if we go into receivership (this is a technical requirement for charitable status)

If you wish to become a member please get in touch with us via media@hockey.co.fk, or via Falkland Islands Hockey.
