The glorious career of Tony Hand MBE is unique in the annals of British ice hockey. An exceptional set of skills – soft hands, vision, easy skating stride, strength – enabled the Edinburgh born forward to achieve more than any other player in this country.
From being the first Brit to be drafted by the NHL to receiving the accolade of his fellow players, who voted him the Player of the Century, he set sky-high standards which may never be beaten.
Great Britain’s all-time highest points scorer; league, cup and play-off trophies galore; and the only ice hockey player ever to be awarded the prestigious Member of the British Empire (MBE) medal by HM The Queen for his services to his sport, Tony’s haul of honours is unsurpassed.
Tony has agreed to run 3 coaching clinics for the EIHA, the first will be held in Solihull on December the 8th.
Tony will share his coaching experiences in what should be a great opportunity for EIHA registered coaches.
The event is classroom based and will run for 3 hours. Tony will present coaching strategies that he recommends for the game in this country. There will also be a Q&A opportunity.
A notebook and pen are all you will require.
The clinic is priced at £30.
Places are limited.
Please arrive at 18:30 for a 19:00 start.
