The first Team of the Week of Manx Hockey Association’s 2026 men’s and women’s season has been confirmed.

It’s great to see nominations across all clubs and recognition for younger players, either playing their first seasons in senior leagues or in their club’s A teams.

GOALKEEPER

Mark Arden (Ramsey B)- not only player of the match in his own team for keeping them in the game, but the opposition also nominated Arden for Team of the Week goalkeeper after producing some unbelievable saves throughout the match.

DEFENCE

Ben Kerwin (Vikings C) - provided incredible support at the back and played with great spirit, determination and tenacity which was unmatched by most on the pitch.

Jasper Skillicorn (Harlequins B) - put in a great shift, winning the ball back tirelessly and looking constantly dangerous going forward.

Aoife Cooper (Vikings C) - in her first women’s season, she played with great composure and determination, showcasing that she has real potential.

Hannah Nuttall (Harlequins A) - continued to create numerous goal-scoring opportunities throughout the match despite facing tough opposition.

Chris Crompton-Heavey (Castletown A) - enjoyed a great first team debut and was really pivotal in swinging the game in Castletown’s favour.
