Bionic ‘Dad’s Army’ Hockey Match A group of 30 men, with an average age of 69 will compete for the ‘Bionic Cup’ in a field hockey match to be played on Wednesday December 20 at the Perth Hockey Stadium. But this is no rag tag group of volunteers. The annual event will this year feature previous state level players and even an Olympian. Don Smart played for Australia at the Mexico City & Tokyo Olympic Games in the 1960s and from sitting on the sidelines last year, didn’t want to miss out on all the fun. “I had been putting off having knee replacement surgery but seeing the wonderful exhibition and seeing how freely my club mates were moving I no longer had any excuses” Mr Smart said. “I had both knees replaced in 2016 and have recommenced playing and enjoying hockey.” President of the AOA, Dr Lawrie Malisano, said that such an event is a celebration of the wonder of movement and provides the Australian orthopaedic community with a chance to reflect on the significant contribution than hip and knee replacement surgery provides thousands of Australians every year. “Being able to enjoy the freedom of movement, let alone sporting endeavours, just wouldn’t be possible without significant advances in prosthesis technology and the improvement of surgical technique over the past 80 years,” Dr Malisano said. Secretary of Western Hockey Masters, Bob Bowyer, thought his sporting days were over after blowing his knee while representing his State at a national veterans’ hockey tournament. But after undergoing a knee replacement in 2013, the 78 year old is now just as active as ever and still plays hockey twice a week. “People are surprised that we can still play hockey after these fairly debilitating injuries but the message we’re trying to get out is that if you put the effort into your rehabilitation and do things right you can get back to a full active life. A lot of people have said to me from time to time that they think that they’re going to have to give up playing hockey because their knee or hip is jigged but I say look at us - if we can do it you can do it” Mr Bowyer said. When: Wednesday December 20th. Where: Perth Hockey Stadium Turf 1. Time: 3:30 pm. Who: The teams include 16 members in their 60s, 11 members in their 70s and 2 members in their 80s. All players are over 50 years of age and have had at least one knee or hip replaced.
