George Thornton, WHC Youth Convenor, commented, "I'm delighted that Dan and Tommy will be leading our Men's and Ladies' Colts' programmes next season, as we further strengthen our already excellent Youth coaching team. They will oversee the development of our young players, allowing them to progress at their own pace, while supporting our most talented players as they move through our pathway and helping them achieve their personal ambitions in hockey.
"I’m also thrilled that David Sweetman will be our new Director of Youth Hockey. His experience will be invaluable as we enhance our coaching programme and develop our future strategy. I'd also like to say a huge thank you to Keith Smith, who has been instrumental in the transformation of our Youth programme over the last 11 years. We wish him all the best for the future."
