HOCKEY

IMHC have had a rollercoaster of a season, our first victory over IC began at fresher’s fair, the year was 2022 and IC were breaking the ancient peace treaty of not poaching freshers… thankfully for the red trou it was clear IC have terrible chat and we cleaned the table with fresher recruitment. Now the double-edged sword was that there were so many new faces across all our teams, thankfully the freshers have made a huge impact on and off the pitch which I expect will be the story of varsity.

A little back story of varsities of days gone past… after 6 years of medic domination, IC managed to seal out a ropey victory in 2020 after drawing 1-1 and going to penalty flicks. 2022 and IC showed once more varsity was theirs with a convincing win. Alas IMHC have come into good form in 2023 ready to reclaim hockey varsity to its rightful home.

As this year’s headliner, you should expect some fast competitive hockey, the passion from the boys will be contagious and it all comes down to who wants it more!

Last year’s triple varsity winners are back again, bigger and better than ever. We are defending our championship this year with all three of our amazing teams and put IC in their place (again). This year our 3s have had a record commitment and recruitment, our 2s remain unbeaten in BUCS and our 1s are UH champions. Our 1s are the current LUSL cup holders and won ICSM’s team of the year 2022 and the 2s have achieved a jaw dropping 162 goals, a 116 goal difference with second in the league! All our teams are aiming (and with the way the season is going, they will) a season best finish. This year we have shown our hockey prowess and IC should be shaking in their boots. With results like this throughout this season, Women’s Hockey Varsity will be dominated by the medics. So, on the sidelines, give a cheer for the medics, the sure winners of 2023 Varsity.
