Germans to lead Euro All Stars at HK Hockey 6s

13 March 2012

The 2012 HK Hockey 6's will feature some legends of the game as part of its International Series, with former German international, Michael Green leading the team against the HK Barbarians on 5th, 6th and 7th April at the Hong Kong Football Club.

Green was capped 320 times by Germany over a period of 10 years and boasts World Champions Gold medal, three Champions Trophy winners trophies, as well as appearing in two Olympic Games.  He was named FIH World Player of the Year in 2002.

Now an orthopedic surgeon, Green will again grace the hockey pitch in Hong Kong, alongside compatriot Christian Wein, who himself played with Green in the World Cup win in 2002 and played 176 times for his country.

Typical European rivalry will be put aside for the 6's, as the German contingent is joined by 4 Dutch players and a Spaniard.
