OUIHC are pleased to share the news that our club member, Nathan Tree, has been nominated for the Oxford University Sport’s ‘Contribution to Sport Award’ in their annual sport awards.
Nathan joined OUIHC in 2018 and has played a huge role in the locker room and on the ice for the Vikings B this season, using his experience to help coach new and developing players. However, Nathan’s contribution to the sport of ice hockey goes far deeper, as he is also the founder of Blind Ice Hockey UK. It is his enthusiasm that has seen the sport played in the UK for the first time, in Widnes in September 2019, before being played at Oxford Ice Rink in October, supported by OUIHC.
We wish Nathan luck for the awards (date to be confirmed following the Covid-19 pandemic), and thank him for his work in OUIHC with the Bikings, and for what he has done for the hockey community.
