Best wishes to the 40+ children that will be representing FHC at Western Wildcats trials over the next two Sunday mornings. Those children that make the Wildcats squads will be competing in the Victorian Junior Hockey Championships at the State Hockey Centre during the first week of the second term school holidays (June 30 to July 6). For those that don’t make it, keep in mind that each year the competition for these places varies. If you’re unsuccessful this year, then next year could be your year.
