Premier League Coaching in 2024
Premier League Coaching in 2024
December 12th, 2023
The Altona Hockey Club board is delighted to announce that our 2024 Women’s Premier League Coach will be Danielle Schubach, assisted by Stephanie Young, and our 2024 Men’s Premier League Coach is Greg Drake.
It is fantastic to have Greg returning to Premier League coaching, Many of you will already know Greg well, but for those who do not, a sample of his CV below speaks for itself, and we can’t wait to see what he can achieve with the Men’s Squad.
Greg played 250 State League 1 (PL) games for Altona, playing a key role in our two Premierships and was a Victorian senior side squad member. He has coached our MPL side before, over 10 years ago, and more recently the WPL side. In the time since last coaching MPL, he has coached the Victorian U21s, has won the Australian Hockey League (the predecessor to Hockey One) as a coach of the Victorian Vipers, before moving to coach International hockey as assistant for the Canadian Women, Japan Women, and USA women before also taking over as head coach for Pro-League of the USA Women – and of course taking out the 2023 Women’s Pennant D Premiership as coach.
He will also continue in his role of AHC Club Coach Developer, helping to develop and support our club coaches.
Greg will be supported by Ian Bartlett who is stepping into the Reserves coaching role. Ian is the Premier League games record holder at Altona with 336 games and will bring a wealth of hockey knowledge to the squad.
Danielle and Steph had a great first year coaching the women, finishing the season just outside of finals in 9th place, a marked improvement on the 2022 season result in a highly competitive year. The feedback from the players was overwhelmingly positive and spoke volumes to the work and expertise that Danni and Steph bring to the squad.
