Extra-curricular Sport
Australian Senior Men’s Roller Hockey Team
This October, two of our St Bede's students - Will Hoey (12M ) and Sol McCarthy (11M) - will be representing Australia at the World Skate Games 2022 in Argentina, as members of the Men’s Senior Roller Hockey Team. The sporting endeavours of both students were recently featured in The Herald Sun (link to article here).

Both Will and Sol have trained for over ten years in the sport and - due to Covid restrictions - missed an opportunity to play in the Australian team against New Zealand in 2020.
While in many countries roller hockey is a professional sport, fully funded by their respective Governments, Australia fields a self-funded team. For the Australian team to be able to compete on an international scale in Argentina, all 15 players and coaches will need to raise $8,000 per person.
