GBHL is a membership organization made up of the three Home Nations (HNs) England, Scotland and Wales and is the body responsible for delivering Great Britain’s success at the Olympic Games and other international events where the teams compete as GB.
The Board operates under the Great Britain Framework Agreement which the HNs signed in 2006 and which has recently been revised. The main function of the Framework is to provide GB Primacy, which puts the athlete at the center and ensures administrators and coaches give all GB athletes the best possible chance of success at the highest level of hockey – the Olympic stage.
To fulfill its responsibilities, GB Hockey appoints a “Nominated Country” (NC) from the 3 Home Nations (HN) every four years. The Board delegates full responsibility for directing both the business and performance activities of GB Hockey to the NC and ensures the primacy of GB. The “Non Nominated Countries” (NNCs) have committed to assisting the NC in fulfilling its obligations and ensuring the primacy of GB. GB Hockey oversees the responsibilities delegated to the NC.
The role of President includes chairing GBHL’s board meetings (three per year), working closely with the Chief Operating Officer of Great Britain and liaising with the company’s key stakeholders, including the three home associations and the British Olympic Association. There will also be an obligation to represent GB hockey at other meetings and events.
