2021 Annual Award Winners

Published Wed 27 Apr 2022

Hockey Queensland is proud to announce the winners of the Hockey Queensland Annual Awards for 2021. 

Once again, the awards were in two categories – Achievement and Community.

The Hockey Queensland Achievement Awards celebrate those in hockey who had outstanding success in their field for 2021. These awards were voted on and decided by the relevant committees.

The Hockey Queensland Community Awards aim to celebrate those in our community that ‘go above and beyond’, without whom we wouldn’t be able to take the field each week.

Nominations for these awards were submitted by Associations, and voted on by the community. Winners were decided by the community votes and the HQ Awards panel.

Winners are announced via Facebook from Tuesday 26th April - Friday 29th April 2022. 

Congratulations to all of our winners, and thank you for your dedication to hockey.
