Benalla’s Stick 2 Hockey kids invited their parents and families on to the field on Thursday, June 22 for their final night of hockey, followed by S2H presentations. The players enjoyed teaching the adults how to dribble the ball and showed off their new skills with games of hoctopus.

The under-8s’ dads then got rather competitive with a game of number hockey, while the under-10s played a 4v4 mini game and under-12s hit on goals.
