The Hockey Centre

The Begining

John and Philippa Hurst started Hurst Hockey in the mid 1970’s.
Bablock Sports had been a successful importer of Hockey
and other Sporting Goods since the early 1970’s.

In the mid 1980’s, following a change of ownership, Bablocks moved to Woking. By the late 1980’s both Hurst Hockey and Bablock Sports were growing in the emerging Hockey Retail Market and joined together to maximise their exposure.

maybry Road Began

The “new” Business operated from the premises in Maybury Road, Woking and from the shop at St. Albans. At the forefront of Hockey Retailing in the 1990’s, the Company was one of the first in Hockey to have a web site and has always prided itself on it's expertise in hockey with many of the staff being dedicated hockey players and enthusiasts including a number of past and current International players.

Building A Community

We pride ourselves on being the best hockey community store.

With roots in many hockey clubs and orginaisations across england.

We established over this time the best products that hockey players want.

Plus the establishment of out Club Clothing wing of the businss to provide the best quality garments for hockey players.

Bigger and Better

Maybry Road was the beating heart of the Hockey Centre for so many years but due to changing times and the stores getting busier a move was needed.

We moved to Old woking a short distance from the original Store.

The bigger space meant we had more products out and less dissapointed customers!

Brand New Future

The move to a new building was needed and after months of finding the perfect place.

The New State Of the Art Manor Way Hockey Centre has more room for exciting hockey products.

Plus plenty of free parking at the front of the building
