Get to know the Hockey Center team and read all about how we started and what we stand for!
THE HOCKEY CENTER
Hockey Center started in Woking in England. We brought this successful company to the Netherlands as a store and webshop. Hockey Center can now be found in England, South Africa, India, Australia & Belgium.
The Hockey Center NL can be found in "the center" of the country; Almere, where we are the hockey specialist in Flevoland.
The Hockey Center NL is easily accessible, you can always park for free, we provide tailor-made service and a cup of tea or coffee is of course part of our experience!
Of course we are also open online 24/7 ;)
Every staff member at The Hockey Center has a passion for sport and an affinity with hockey. The Hockey Center employs athletes who still play, coach, provide training, have experience in organizing sporting events and enjoy providing customized assistance to the Hockey Center Member! We convey our passion for sports, and hockey in particular, in various ways. We are happy to give you tips to help you progress in your sport with our videos, blogs, social media, webshop or tailor-made tips. In-store we help everyone who has a passion for hockey to go one step further. Whether you are a referee, player, goalkeeper, parent, board member, or grandfather/grandmother and/or fan, we are happy to talk to you about hockey!

Hey! My name is Sebas, and I have been working at TheHockey Center for a few years. In the beginning I mainly helped at events and gave training, but for a year now I can also be found in the store. I have been playing hockey for 10 years with great pleasure at the Almere hockey club, which is very nice to combine with working at THC. I have also been active for a long time as a trainer of various youth teams. You can always contact me for advice or questions and I will regularly be at events!
