The Western Australian Hockey Association (Inc.) Reports President’s Report While 2016 wasn’t without its challenges, Hockey WA continued to take positive steps forward delivering against the pillars of our strategic plan while focusing on our core values. While I often talk about the pillars of our strategic plan, I would like to focus on the core values which were updated with our revised strategic plan in 2015. The core values outline the en- gagement and relationship Hockey WA seeks to have with all our stakeholders and, while we may not always achieve these, they certainly are the standard we are aiming for. As a reminder, the Hockey WA core values are: • INCLUSIVE PARTICIPATION for all people of all abilities, gender, race and age group to achieve their full potential • TRANSPARENT and regular engagement to encourage dialogue and CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • To work together to ensure ENJOYMENT for all • Open to INNOVATION and striving for EXCELLENCE in all that we undertake. Inclusive Participation While many alternative sports are commencing the journey towards a broader and more inclusive participation model, hockey can boast a long and proud history of engagement par- ticularly across gender and age. In 2016 Hockey WA continued to grow our broad participation base providing: • Increased levels of direct engagement, in partnership with local clubs and regional associations, in schools based introduction programs; • Expansion of clinics and camps providing additional active participation opportunities for young members of our community; and • Expansion of our HEAT and TAP programs which provide developing athletes with the opportunity to develop their skills and experience base with some of the best our game has to offer. While the focus has been on investing in the growth and expansion of our younger members, Hockey WA has continued to work with and -ex pand our Masters competitions and community which provide one of the best competitions for our more mature members that any sport can offer. Transparent and Regular Engagement In 2015 Hockey WA created a Communications and Marketing Committee which has focused on improving the quality of our engagement with all our hockey community stakeholders. We have seen a significant improvement in the measurable engagement through this program which creates a more in a more informed and engaged community. Hockey WA will continue to innovate and invest in this area to provide further opportunities for engagement and exposure including areas such as live streaming of National and International engagements which can open up our competitions and our game to the wider sporting community. Innovation and Excellence In 2016 Hockey WA tendered for and won the right to host the Australian Hockey League (AHL), in partnership with Hockey Australia, from 2016 to 2018. Through this process Hockey WA has been focused on reinvigorating our National Championships with changes implemented in 2016 including: • Combining the Men’s and Women’s Championships to a single venue in parallel to the National Under 13 Championships; • Introducing international teams into the AHL bringing varied game styles for our supporters and new challenges for our players and officials; and • Provide online streaming and improved fixturing to increase the opportunity for supporter engagement along with expanding the commercial opportunities for the sport. The WA hosted 2016 AHL was well received by Hockey Australia and provided an excellent baseline for an expanded 2017 competition with in- creased commercial opportunities. Hockey WA and Hockey Australia are now focused on further innovating the 2017
