In honour of the clubs principal founder Arthur Martin the club established a fund within the clubs account to support the club’s initiatives for juniors over and above the standard competition and training arrangements covered by playing fees. 

​

The Colin Cooper Foundation was established following the death of iconic long term president and lifetime member of Old Canberrans Hockey Club, Colin Cooper. Colin was a passionate supporter of hockey and worked hard over many years to build the club’s women’s and junior teams.

​

To continue the work that Colin started, the aim of the foundation is to promote participation and excellence. It is a challenge across all sports to encourage membership and promote healthy and active children and it is hoped that the foundation will allow OCHC to continue to be a leader in this regard. The foundation incorporates the previously established Arthur Martin fund to support our Hookin2Hockey and junior programs and includes provisions for individual scholarships for talented and enthusiastic players and officials.
