Peter has won nine major domestic titles with his club (three each of Irish EY League, Senior Cup and Champions Trophy), including a double of league and Champions trophy this season. He has played four times with his club in the EHL; hockey’s equivalent of the Champions League. Ireland hosting a group stage in the EHL when Banbridge beat the French champions, and drew with the Belgian equivalent to reach the last 16 remains one of his proudest moments in the game. He went to Queens and now combines hockey with working as a project manager.
