We are a team sport where people unite behind a shared goal, whether it is playing a match, running a hockey club or putting on an event.  We believe individually we can achieve much, but together we can achieve much more.  Our mindset is one of cooperation and collaboration.  We are prepared to tackle those who do not have our best interests at heart and appreciate the varied contributions of those around us.

We have pride in our sport and the quality of our work.  We are proud of our national teams as they stride on to the pitch, of a woman's courage in playing for the first time since school, and of a young boy scoring his first ever goal.  We understand that everyone in the Hockey Nation has their own ambitions and we believe in our sport's ability to engender a sense of fun, confidence and pride.

We hold our sport, its values and its traditions in high esteem.  We are committed to earning the respect of others in the way we behave, we are self-aware, and we believe in being unfailingly courteous to those around us.  We are respectful of our teammates, our opposition, our coaches and our officials, both on and off the pitch.  As the profile of our sport grows, we will retain our humility.

We believe in being open to new people, new ideas and new methods.  We want to increase the opportunities for people to play their part in the Hockey Nation and we understand England Hockey's role in helping to create welcoming and friendly environments.  Our preparedness to evolve and adapt will help ensure that hockey is accessible and attracts a diverse range of people.
