🎉 GAME MILESTONE 🎉

2011 was the year Hollway came to Casey, and after 10 seasons, Matt has seen plenty of success — including a premiership, thousands of goals saved, and now reaching 150 games (the equivalent of 170 hours on the field).

Hollway’s career extends beyond Casey, originally starting at Dandenong, where he built countless friendships and achieved just as much success through premierships and game-changing saves that led to victories.

Throughout his playing journey, Hollway has remained consistent — vocal, strong, confident, and exceptional in goals.

Beyond hockey, Matt is a husband and dad, and the loyalty and love he shows within his family extends just as strongly to his hockey family.

A big pat on the back to Hollway on his 150th game — best of luck tomorrow night 👏🤍

After 5 years at the helm, Dan “Mitty” Mitchell has stepped down as Head Coach of our Men’s Premier League team. Under his leadership the team reached the finals twice, and he leaves behind a culture of passion and pride that will long outlast his time at the Club.

Dan’s impact reached well beyond Footscray- from Hockey Club Melbourne (Hockey One) to the Australian Men’s U18 team, and now his new role as Head Coach of the Adelaide Fire Men’s Hockey One team.

Paul Schram and Lach Anderson will guide the Men’s PL team through the remaining rounds.

Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. Thank you for everything Mitty 🔴🔵⚪️

VALE IAN SHIELDS
Casey Cannons Hockey Club will unite in wearing black armbands this round to honour and pay respect to dedicated past club-member Ian Shields.

An ever-present figure at the club over decades, Ian played an instrumental role in securing the pitch and clubrooms at Berwick Secondary College we now all call home.

Ian was a driving force in the club's quest to find a home base, acting as a key conduit between club, government and college stakeholders, and helping navigate complex regulatory and funding roadblocks to turn the concept of a dedicated home into a reality.

Beyond the laying of the pitch, Ian stayed heavily involved in the club, serving actively on the grounds sub-committe and worked tirelessly behind the scenes on committee governance and infrastructure projects.

Widely regarded as the ultimate multi-tasker, he was never too proud to mow a lawn or do any maintenance job required.

Of course, were it not for the contributions of daughters Cath and Jo, who played at the club and served in committee roles, son Greg and wife Trish, we would not have been impacted by Ian's passion and expertise - and never been treated to his "sticks down" catch cry from the sidelines.

His contribution is made all the more profound when you consider his dedication to Ormond and Castlemaine United cricket clubs and that sport, which earned him the honour of Cricket Victoria's Community Cricket Volunteer of the Year.

Casey Hockey Club is indebted to Ian and our collective hearts go out to Trish, Cath, Jo and his extended family and friends on their loss.
