OHA goalkeeper Henry Chambers has been selected by Hockey Australia in a squad of 17 players invited to attend a training camp in Adelaide in June, from which a 9-man team will be chosen to represent Australia in the Hockey 5s tournament at the Youth Olympic Games to be held in Argentina in October 2018.
Henry is the only Tasmanian representative in the selection camp squad. This is a great opportunity for Henry to train in front of the National Selectors and alongside the best Under 18 players in Australia. Henry is one of three goalkeepers in the squad so will have to impress them with his keeping skills to make the final team.
Congratulations Henry, and we wish you all the best for the training camp!
