What Are Hockey Medals?

Hockey medals are awards presented to players, teams, coaches and volunteers to recognise winning, placing, progress and contribution in matches, leagues, tournaments and club seasons. They are typically made from metal with a ribbon, and can be personalised with engraving to show the event name, team, award category, year or venue.
