The Come and Try Hockey event, run for the Pride Community of Perth as well everyone with an interest in the sport, will feature appearances from the Australian Hockeyroos and Kookaburras, bouncy castles, face painting, barbecues, LGBTIQ+community stalls and a range of other attractions to be announced in coming weeks.

“We’re incredibly excited to be running the Come and Try Hockey event with Hockey Australia, Westside Wolves and Perth Pythons at Lemnos Turf in June,” Hockey WA General Manager – Game & Community Development, Shayley McGurk Davy, says.

“The event itself is literally for everyone, reflective of the incredibly inclusive nature of our sport, which provides opportunities for young and old, people of WA Pride Community.

“We can’t wait and we look forward to seeing everyone in person not only for some great fun and games for the whole family, but also some top-level club hockey too.”

President of the Perth Pythons, Reid Smith, says he is thrilled to showcase the inclusiveness of hockey.

“The Pythons are thrilled to see a pride initiated by Hockey WA to promote inclusion and diversity in the sport we love," Smith says.
