Indoor Hockey Boards

The grant will be used to replace the old wooden indoor hockey boards that we currently use for training, games and youth festivals. The boards are over 50 years old and don’t fit together properly. They are joined by clips which constantly need replaced. The boards are all slightly different and must be joined in a set order. Safety is important, with care needed when setting up the boards to avoid wood splinters. During coaching sessions and games, hockey balls often lift off the floor after deflecting against the boards instead of running flat. This happens due to poor linking up and uneven surfaces on the faces of the boards. New wooden interlocking boards will help with setting up and removing boards and will improve deflections off the sideboards.
