Brophy McKay Awards Night

The 2024 Brophy McKay Awards night was held on Friday 27th September at the Canberra Labor Club. 

Hockey ACT’s annual Brophy McKay Presentation Evening celebrates all those involved in each hockey winter season by recognising and acknowledging the outstanding support and achievements of players, umpires, and volunteers.

The evening brings together the hockey community and honours those who have made massive contributions to hockey in the ACT both in the past and present.

The two most prestigious awards of the event include the Brophy and McKay Medals, which are awarded each year to the men and women who have been voted as best and fairest for the season by the rest of the hockey community.
