About us
How were we introduced to field hockey?
My family was introduced to field hockey on a bet with our daughter. We had just moved to Saline, Mi and my daughter Kennedy was looking for something to do in the fall. I had read a post from Saline Community Education about a Field Hockey program for 6th and 7th graders, I have never heard of field hockey at that time. After telling Kennedy about what I had read she gave me the "NO WAY" look. I was interested in it so I made a bet with her (I actually set her up where she would lose) about the location of a musical instrument store. I told her if she was right I would buy her an instrument ( I can't remember), if I won she would give field hockey a try. The rest is history!
How did O'Hanlon Hockey start?
After Kennedy started playing my wife and I became huge fans of the sport. In fact I started coaching, playing, and doing what ever I could to do to stay active in the sport. But I noticed one problem, field hockey sticks and equipment were hard to find in our area. The selection was either a wooden/ fiberglass stick at your local Dicks sporting goods store or order on line and hope you like your purchase. Thats when the idea of O'Hanlon Hockey was born.
