What to Bring
If your child does not have a stick, one will be provided for them. These must be returned each week.
Please make sure all equipment is named.
Unison have once again come onboard as junior sport sponsors and have provided HB Hockey with a sports bag, mouth guard and drink bottle for all Funsticks players in 2023. These will be available for you to take away at the first session. Mouthguards will not be molded for your child, but you will be able to take these for the start of the session if required.
