Hockey Ireland is extremely shocked and deeply concerned by the invasion of #Ukraine and the escalation of violence and pro-war rhetoric.
We join our voices to the calls for peace uttered all over the world and want to express our full support and solidarity with the people of Ukraine and with the Ukrainian Hockey Federation and all Ukrainian athletes.
Conscious that words are not enough, we want to encourage our hockey community – in conjunction with the European Hockey Federation – to take action.
