Ep. 5 - Richard Lane (England Hockey) & Kareena Cuthbert (Scottish Hockey); Hockey Dream Team

Hockey Dream Team is the twelfth season of the Half Court Press Podcast. In this series we hear from a variety of members of the global hockey community, including players, coaches, umpires and journalists. In each episode Tao MacLeod speaks with hockey personalities, about topics relevant to them and the sport. Then the guests give their picks for a six-a-side hockey team. One guest chooses a men's team, whilst the other puts forward a women's side. The debate is then who we have for a combined mixed gender six-a-side Dream Team. Richard Lane is a former outdoor and indoor international player, who has gone on to skipper England at the small sided version of hockey. Richard has played for several big clubs south of the border, including Cannock and Holcombe, winning several titles along the way. He is now involved in the set-up at East Grinstead Hockey Club. Richard picks the men’s six-a-side indoor dream team. Kareena ‘Kaz’ Cuthbert is currently the Vice-President of Scottish Hockey, the national governing body for the sport north of Hadrian’s Wall. She has played internationally for her country, both indoor and outdoor, most recently captaining her side to the EuroHockey Championships II Division title in 2019. In addition to her administrative duties she is also the player-coach at Western Wildcats, helping them to win the Scottish Championship for the first time in the club’s history, just prior to the Coronavirus pandemic. Kareena picks the women’s six-a-side indoor dream team. The Half Court Press Podcast is available on… iTunes Spotify Google Podcasts Apple Podcasts Breaker Overcast Anchor Pocket Casts RadioPublic
