Welcome to the Alumni page for OUHC!
All OUHC Alumni are welcome and encouraged to become a part of our alumni network; the Marcon-Dyer Club. We use the Marcon-Dyer Club as our primary means of communication with alumni to keep you up-to-date with all things OUHC. To sign-up for the Marcon-Dyer Club mailing list and hear more from OUHC, please use this link.
We have events running throughout the year for alumni, but you are welcome back at any point! We are always keen to see you return to the Fortress to help cheer on our boys and girls in Dark Blue. Over the next few years, OUHC is focusing on developing its alumni engagement and increasing the amount we do with our alumni, as we know you are keen to get more involved with the Club and hear how we are continuing to develop.
We have three major alumni events every year. These are the perfect opportunity for our alumni to directly engage with the Club and share in the fond memories they had being a part of OUHC. These are:
-
BEST DAY OF THE YEAR (2s3s4s Varsity) - Mid-February in Oxford or Cambridge
-
BLUES VARSITY - Early March at Southgate Hockey Centre
-
ALUMNI DAY - Late April/Early May at The Fortress, Oxford
​
OUHC is planning to introduce an Alumni Dinner, to happen every three years, and provide an opportunity to formally reunite our alumni community on a bigger scale and celebrate the Club.
On top of these, please see our fixtures list for any matches that you might be able to come to. If you fancy pinpointing any particular matches, we would be more than happy to help you organise an alumni group social and direct you to the best new places in town to eat/drink afterwards (spoiler: it’s Vinnies).
Finally, as with all institutions, OUHC relies heavily on alumni funding to survive. We are looking to set up small, regular donations from as many alumni as possible. The amounts in question could be as small as £3/£5 a month. These might seem insignificant to an individual, but, when summed over entire year groups, it will make a significant contribution to the long-term financial stability of OUHC.
If you would like to get involved, we’d love to have your support. You can make a gift online via the University’s development pages, or if you would like to talk to someone about a significant investment in the Club, please contact Lucas Baude de Bunnetat on sport@dae.ox.ac.uk. Donors in the US can give tax effectively via the North American website. Please add the Club’s name to the comment box on that site.
