The Queensland Hockey Community along with Rockhampton Hockey are mourning the loss of a hockey legend.
Kym was a member of the first Australian Women’s hockey team to play at an Olympic Games in 1984 in Los Angeles. She was proud to be an Olympian and could easily have been a dual Olympian had it not been for the 1980 Moscow boycott.
She was a trailblazer, a fantastic (and fierce) goalkeeper, a great coach and umpire and a formidable field player in her later hockey career. She played for Queensland in Masters, coached for Queensland and continued to give back to the sport she loved. In 2002 she was inducted into the Hockey Queensland Hall of Fame.
Our condolences go out to her family and the wider hockey community. Her contribution to this sport will long be remembered.
