Hockey Clubs Observe Remembrance Day with Minute's Silence Across Saturday Fixtures

West Wilts HC joined other clubs across the region in reflection on Saturday as players, coaches and supporters observed a minutes silence ahead of their fixtures to mark Remembrance Day.

Club Captain Chris Warren said " When we stand together in silence before a match, we are not just honouring those who served, we're acknowledging the legacy they left behind. At West Wilts Hockey Club, we have players from military families and a strong connection to the military so that minute silence is particularly powerful. It reminds us of our shared values and grounds us in some thing bigger than the game. We talk a lot about teamwork, resilience and courage in our sport. Remembrance Day reminds us of those values, where they come from and why they matter"

Remembrance Day continues to hold a significant place in the sporting calendar with our hockey club uniting with our opposition to foster reflection and solidarity, reminding us the freedoms of today are built on the sacrifices of yesterday.
