ANNA MEHONOSHEN

Title: Walk and Talk Hockey

Aim: To leverage hockey's global strength as a influential sporting community to create customised
and relevant Internet tools and technology to connect hockey players, teams and clubs locally, Regionally and globally through the message of Walk and Talk Hockey.

Using the well organized strength of a global sport like ours will increase the attraction to young people to become involved not just as hockey players for their Clubs and Associations but to help with development programs or awareness events such as
games in the park or fun days in general to raise money for the club. In the current age of Twitter,
Facebook and Myspace, web technology is now not just accepted, but an expected way to
communicate to each other. Walk and Talk hockey embodies this ideal of the young generations Y

image of the people involved with the sport with the value of not only maintaining retention of
participation but potentially reaching more prospective members.

This will make hockey far more popular in our country because:
Firstly, if more people know about the sport, then they will be more aware of the hockey within the city and around the world. Then they will do more things to fight for the sport.
