The Hockey Museum

Who we are

The Hockey Museum is the first and only museum of hockey in the world and aims to preserve, share and celebrate the rich history and heritage of hockey. As an Accredited Museum and registered charity, The Hockey Museum is home to a growing collection of hockey archives, artefacts and memorabilia, which it makes accessible to the hockey family and the wider public through its website, newsletters, displays and exhibitions.

Our Charitable Objects, as agreed with the Charity Commission and to which our Board of Trustees are bound are as follows:

“Advancing the education of the public in the history and development of hockey and its antecedents, in particular by establishing or maintaining a museum for the permanent exhibition and preservation of items of education and/or historic value.”

Our Vision: "Inspiring people to embrace hockey's values by sharing engaging stories through innovation and inclusivity."
