Up next: Derek #96 who joined the fabulous Buccaneers crew in 2021. Derek decided to join the Buccs to try out hockey, and now he’s hooked - unsurprising given the fact the he was made (if you catch my drift) in Canada so hockey must run in his blood!!

Derek’s favourite memory so far was the Night Tournament, an evening where teams from around the Netherlands meet up to play hockey all night and have fun

Up next: Helen #25 who joined the team all the way back in 2017. Helen decided to tryout for the Buccaneers after a friend of hers joined the crew and told her how cool and awesome of a team we are.

Looking back at her time with the Utrecht Buccaneers to date, she looks back most fondly on the pond hockey of 2020. After an entire season without hockey (due to government safety regulations), the Buccaneers spent nearly all 5 skate able days outside playing hockey together. It was the first time that many of us had seen each other in awhile and it was glorious! Not to worry, only a few of us fell through the ice - but if you ask them, they’ll all tell you that it was completely worth it!!

Up next: Gido #62 who joined the team in 2021. Gido loved ice hockey since he was 16 but was never able to play. Last year his dreams came true when he joined the Buccs ;)

On top of finally being able to play the wonderful sport that is (ice)hockey Gido also enjoys the social aspect of the team - the Night Tournament in Enschede being his favourite Bucca-memory so far.

A fun fact about Gido is that his grandpa used to go watch ice hockey games in The Hague, when he was a child in the 1950’s, must’ve been some good ol’ school hockey!

Pictured on the right, Gido, and on the left, Derek (more to follow on this awesome Bucca-dude later).

While the rink is closed for summer break we want

While the rink is closed for summer break we want to take some time to introduce some of the Buccs! First up is our goalie Jorik #97 who joined the team in 2016. "The Buccs are the best, you don’t have to be able to skate, which is good, because after 6 years I still can't!"

He describes himself as a Dutchananian and finished up his studies in Security Management recently. His favorite memory of his time with the Buccs was the NSK of 2017 in Utrecht.

A proud moment for Jorik: even though he still cannot skate he scored a goal on his first shift as a player

What a way to end the season!

This past Tuesday at one of our bi-weekly borrels, we were finally able to give one of our long-term sponsors a little thank you from the team. In addition to being gifted to Willie, jersey #34 has been retired since 2018. The @cafe_domkop has been a loyal ally, and the location of many fun Buccaneer evenings. Here’s to many more years to come 🍻
