Hockey WA is saddened to hear of the passing of Hockey Australia Life Member and Award of Merit recipient Dr. Tony Galvin.

Dr. Galvin showcased immense passion and commitment not only the sport of hockey, often called upon to give his assistance to treat athletes from other sports.

The team doctor for the Kookaburras and Hockeyroos at several World Cups, Dr. Galvin’s involvement with the nation’s top hockey teams spanned two decades.

Dr. Galvin was not only a wonderful doctor, but also a wonderful person – a delight to both players and officials.

Dr. Galvin received a Hockey Australia Award of Merit in 2001, while also receiving Life Membership last year.

The Board and staff at Hockey WA along with the broader hockey community extends our sincere condolences to Dr. Galvin's family and friends.
