I am doing my hockey coach Graham Bone. He is in his 70s and is still coaching
us! Graham is always there down at the hockey turf whether its mowing the
lawns or coaching us he is amazing. He even sells kindling wood to fundraise for
us. Graham makes us smile even with his old fashioned way of teaching us. His
family is really into hockey and his two sons have coached me and my sister over
the years we have been playing hockey. I am sure if you asked anyone on the
West Coast who is most committed to hockey it would be him. Graham is an
amazing person in my hockey community. Him and his family have a huge impact
on my hockey.

Jess
Hi Jess

Hi Jess
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen one of the best people to tell us about. I so agree with you! Graham Bone is Mr Hockey in Greymouth. He has done so much for the game of hockey in Greymouth for such a long time. He really is amazing.
I quite often see him as I drive past the hockey turf, like you say he is either doing a job, sometimes watching or mowing the lawns. He is a huge asset to the sport.
I am sure that all of the Bones would of had some input into your hockey at some stage as his two sons are also very involved.
I love to read stories about local people. It is great out of all the people that you could have chosen that you chose him to talk about.
Well done Jess! I am very proud of you for recognising all of his hard work over the years.
Until next time
Allie :)

Graham is still coaching my team! Most weeks before our games he takes us down to his house and talks to use about our next game.Do you know him?
thanks again

Hi Jess

He is a great West Coaster!
