GB Students and the BUIHA wish to share that Ryan Rathbone will be departing his post within the programme.

On behalf of the GBS Students staff and players past and present, we wish to take this time to thank Ryan for all of his dedication and contributions over the several years of service both as Programme Lead and Women’s Head Coach.

Ryan led the GB Students delegation to three FISU Winter World University Games in; Almaty Kazakhstan in 2017, Lake Placid USA 2023 and Torino Italy in 2025.

We appreciate the time and efforts Ryan contributed during their tenure and wish them the best in their future endeavours within the sport and the wider hockey community.

As GBS move forward, our focus remains on supporting our team and continuing to deliver the best programme possible developing both a pathway within the sport for development of student athletes as well as delivering a high performance programme.

GB Students will have further staffing announcements later this week.
