16-Jun-11 - Hornets speculate over 2012 SuperHornets Tour.
After the social success of the 2011 Superhornets Tour, concern was expressed over the lack of hockey. Increasingly, over the last few years, the Dutch tours have resulted in little or no hockey played - as the Dutch venues seem to cater more for the social side despite the great hockey facilities. Chris Ek & Gareth ran into a dutch bloke in Einhoven who recommended a tour for next year (twice actually, as he told the same story when he was drunk):
The tour is at Hockeyclub Groen Geel near The Hague.
