🏒❤️ Happy Father’s Day from everyone at UKIHPA ❤️🏒

Today we celebrate the dads, stepdads, grandads and father figures who are the backbone of our hockey community.

From the early morning starts and long journeys, to the words of encouragement after a tough game, your support helps make our sport what it is.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make, the values you teach, and for always being our biggest supporters both on and off the ice.

To every hockey dad and father figure across the UK and beyond – we appreciate you.

You make the game possible. www.ukihpa.com

Today, UKIHPA Director Marc Twaite had the pleasure of attending the England Ice Hockey Level 1 & Level 2 Coaching Course at the Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham.

The course, delivered by Peter Winn and Geoff Keeley, provided a fantastic insight into the education, development and support available to coaches within the game. It was great to see around 40 coaches investing their time and commitment into furthering their knowledge and helping drive standards forward across British ice hockey.

UKIHPA was proud to drop in and speak with those in attendance, explaining how we support and represent not only players, but also coaches, managers, officials and support staff throughout the sport.

Marc Twaite said:

“What a wonderful insight today. It was great to spend time with our good friends Peter Winn and Geoff Keeley as they delivered an excellent course. Thank you both for your hospitality and for the important work you continue to do in developing coaches across the game. We look forward to working with coaches and managers in the future and supporting them wherever we can.”

Marc Twaite added:

“It was lovely to see Reg, Chris Wilcox and so many other coaches at the course today. I had some great conversations throughout the day and it was encouraging to see the passion, commitment and desire to continue developing the game. Thank you to everyone who took the time to chat with us and learn more about what UKIHPA is doing for coaches, managers and players.”

A huge thank you to everyone involved in today’s course and for making UKIHPA feel so welcome. England Ice Hockey www.ukihpa.com

Because hockey is more than just a game.

It’s a community.
It’s a family.

And when you need someone in your corner, we’re here.

The work carries on in the off season 💪

Here’s our Positive Junior Ambassador Lukasz Hanretty even on his holidays putting the work in ❤️🇬🇧🏒

29/05/2026

The UK Ice Hockey Players Association (UKIHPA) joins the NHLPA and the wider hockey community in expressing our deepest condolences following the passing of Claude Lemieux.

Claude enjoyed an extraordinary career, winning four Stanley Cups and the Conn Smythe Trophy, cementing his place as one of the game’s most accomplished competitors. His contribution to hockey extended far beyond his playing days, continuing to make a significant impact as a respected player agent and advocate for athletes.

Today, the hockey world has lost a true ambassador of the game.

Our thoughts are with his wife Deborah, his children Brendan, Claudia, Michael and Christopher, along with his many friends, former teammates, colleagues and all those whose lives he touched throughout his remarkable career.

From everyone at UKIHPA, we send our sincere condolences to Claude’s family and the entire hockey community during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Claude. NHLPA
