We’re a friendly, welcoming club where hockey and socials go hand in hand. So if you’re moving to Sheffield and want to play great hockey, make new friends, and get stuck into club life… this is your sign.

Preseason dates are in 🥳
Get yourself down to Norton and let’s start this season strong 💪💙

What a way to cap off two incredible seasons of junior and community hockey growth! 🙌💙

Today we hosted our first U8 Tournament and were proud to field three SUBHC U8 teams – a huge milestone in our journey!

Equally brilliant was seeing our junior leaders from the Development Team stepping up to coach, umpire, and manage the day alongside our regular coaches James, Michelle, and Andrew.

A huge thank you to all the clubs who joined us – the pitches were full of sportsmanship, smiles, and standout performances, and the spirit of the game was alive in every match.

We’re super excited by the next generation of hockey players – and the amazing community that’s helping shape them! 💪🏑

We’re super proud of you and can’t wait to hear how you get on!!

What a weekend for our SUBHC Juniors! 💙🏑

On Saturday, we held our Junior Celebration & Picnic – a fantastic afternoon packed with sunshine, laughter, and so much pride in our growing junior section. It was amazing to see so many families there, celebrating all the young players who’ve made Bankers Juniors such a success this season. 🌟🍉🎖️

We also had a special moment as our Development XI collected their Team of the Year trophy, as announced at our end-of-season dinner earlier in the year – a massive achievement for a team that’s grown in confidence, skill, and spirit throughout the season. 🏆👏

And let’s not forget the parents, who got well and truly stuck in – from cheering on the sidelines to diving into games and helping the event run smoothly. You’re absolute stars and we’re so grateful to have you on this journey with us! 💪❤️

Then on Sunday, our U8s were in action in Doncaster – and what a showing! The Bankers Beavers went unbeaten, and the Bankers Buzzards picked up 4 wins out of 8, with fantastic hockey played all round. Huge smiles, great teamwork, and loads of fun! 🐾🏑

And now… we roll into summer!

This weekend, our very own @linz_a_tron takes to the pitch representing the @yne.hockey Regional Hockey Squad – and we couldn’t be prouder! 🙌

After a 16-year break, Lindsey returned to the sport she loves and is now playing at a seriously high level alongside an incredible group of women. With 8 games across 2 days, she’s ready to give it everything — and of course, they’re in it to win it! 🏆

Here’s what Lindsey shared ahead of the tournament:

“Hockey was my life as a kid and I gained so much from it. I thought I’d retired but that would be very boring. After a 16 year gap, I’m back playing and so happy to play with some amazing women at this level….
Moral to the story, never give up on things you love, irrespective of age or if life took you on different journey’s along the way. It’s never too late to reignite the fire 🔥”

From everyone at SUBHC — go smash it, Lindsey! 💙💪 We’ll be cheering you on all the way. @subhcladies

This weekend, England Hockey awarded their ‘Unsung Hero’ award for 2025 to Richard Kirtley. Here at The Wolf Academy, we can think of no person more deserving of this accolade.

Richard has been the driving force behind the work that has gone on to provide hockey in the community (for free!!) in the last 2 summer holidays for children between the ages of 5 and 13.

Richard identified and liaised with local schools in the Norton area of Sheffield to maximise the amount of attendees from within walking distance of @sheffbankershc

Over 180 children have played hockey in both summers, the majority having never played hockey before or only had a singular taster session – and has now led to the early stages of a thriving junior section at @sheffbankershc (which again, Richard has been the person to administrate and get off the ground – as well as offering his capable services as a coach).

From Matt, Will and everyone at The Wolf Academy – well done on your incredibly well deserved award, and we are looking forward to working with your more in the future to get more kids loving playing hockey in South Yorkshire @kirtle.the.turtle

Absolutely deserved winner @kirtle.the.turtle well done and thank you for your unbridled enthusiasm in supporting the local community to get them involved in hockey! @englandhockey
