Tracey Drake elected Chair of Hockey Victoria
May 10th, 2024
Congratulations to Tracey Drake who has been elected as the Chair of the Hockey Victoria Board! She is also the first woman to have served as the Chair since Hockey Victoria was formed more than 20 years ago.
Tracey has been Vice Chair since 2020 and a member of the HV Board for 12 years. At Altona Tracey was a long-time State League 1 player, and Board Member for 20 years prior to stepping down in 2022. She is the current Women’s Pennant C playing coach – and has had a big impact on that group in her recent return to playing – and the Chair of Selectors for Women’s Premier League.
Anyone who has spent any time with Tracey will be confident that she can have a big impact and bring a large amount of expertise to the role. It is one of the most pivotal positions for hockey in Victoria and Australia, and from all at the Altona Hockey Club, we wish Tracey well in the role.
