Mavericks

Captains' Welcome  

Like the name suggests, the Mavericks are a team unlike any other at OUHC - we have a special combination of talent, spirit and a whole lot of fun. The Mavs play a high standard of competitive hockey in two leagues: The BUCS Midlands - Tier 2B and the Trysports Three Counties League - Division 1. Despite the tough playing year with Covid, we’ve had a great season and played some really great hockey through some friendly matches and one (!) league match which left us undeafeated. Our goal for this coming season is to match and improve upon our pre-covid performance in both leagues, whilst also having a lot of fun doing it:) We’re also determined to be the fittest OUHC team by the end of the season!

 

Alongside great hockey, we’re all about having a great time off the pitch too - whether this be wholesome pasta nights or hitting the clubs, the Mavs will welcome you to the team with open arms and a readiness to give you a taste of what it means to be a Mav. Our top priority is to make sure everyone feels included in our team and in the club as a whole.

 

We’re so glad to have sensational teams around us both from the Rads (2nds) and the Rens (4th) who ensure that we are pushing ourselves to the best of our ability, and cementing the role and importance of women within OUHC (and on nights out!).

 

As co-captains, we can only hope to continue the great legacy of the captains before us and do our best for our wonderful mavvies. We’re excited to put out a great team who love the game, the social atmosphere, and are committed to playing the best hockey for themselves and the rest of the team.
