Totally flattered to win this award. Thank you #englandhockey for the various opportunities, and #buckingham_hc for letting me get in your faces every week! More to come next year!

THANK YOU 👏 With the 2022/23 season coming to a close, we just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your support and love for Hockey Focus. We have had help from so many people but we would love to take this time to also thank our amazing photographers.
