Our Exec
Heyyyy! I’m Brook and your LUUWHC Club Captain this season. I’m going into my 4th and final year at Leeds Uni studying Natural Sciences. We are so proud to be the biggest and best society at Leeds University with 8 BUCS teams and over 350 members. Our club has something for everyone so come along and get involved this season. Joining LUUWHC was the best decision I ever made and I can guarantee you won’t regret being a member of our club!
If you have any questions then feel free to contact me at cc@luuwhc.com.
Can’t wait to see you all in September!
Hi guys, I’m Alice and I’m your new transport gen sec for this year. I’m going into my 3rd year of LUUWHC (and of lesser importance, psychology), and can often be found in terrace, fruity or on a Wednesday social- trust me they’re not to be missed. This year I’ll be organising your transport for Wednesday and Saturday matches, as well as being a helping hand for Brook. If you have any questions give me a bell, can’t wait to meet you all in September!
Hello Hockey Babes,
It’s me again, I’m back and happier than ever to be your new Gen Sec (Fixtures). I’m going into my third and final year of Mathematics here at Leeds. Despite my own position as the worst Goal keeper the 8’s has ever seen (never getting nomad again) I’m here to ensure LUUWHC have their best year ever!!
My jobs involve organising matches, liaising with the leagues, hunting for umpires and playing for the best team in the club.
Any issues feel free to find me (Terrace Thursdays anyone?
Hello everyone, I’m Tingle and I’m going to be the Treasurer of LUUWHC for the 2019/20 season! I’m going into my final year studying Economics and Finance and my role will be to ensure the smooth running of the club’s finances. This means making sure your money is being used in the best possible way to support the club and make your LUUWHC experience the best it can be! Joining LUUWHC has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made at university. If you want to play a great standard of hockey, and make memories with an amazing group of people, you won’t regret deciding to be a part of it!

Caitlin Haberlin
Social Secretary 1s/2s
Shallom all, my name is Caitlin but also go by the name Sue and i am your 1s/2s social sec. I joined hockey not just because of the sport itself but also the social aspects with accompany it. Being part of such a big club means that you make so many friends and meet lots of new people which I was most afraid of when joining university. As a hockey fresher, I have had the best time year of my life; dressing up for Wednesday socials and partaking in the various charity fundraisers have made the first year of uni an unforgettable experience and widely encourage others to join. I am massively looking forward to the upcoming year and hope as a social sec, to make new people joining have an amazing time. Caitlin/Sue x
Megan Murray
Social Secretary 3s/4s
Welcome to the City of Dreams and the best society at Leeds! I’m Meg from Skeg and I am going into my second year of law. I’m the 3s/4s social sec and I can honestly say it would be a crime not to join LUUWHC! Whether on the pitch or in the pub, we are one big hockey family. If you’ve got MAD SKILLZ or have never picked up a stick, everyone’s welcome! So take the leap and join, you won’t regret it! See you soon x
Catherine Belcher
Social Secretary 5s/6s
Hello lovely ladies, I’m Cat and I’m one of your new social secs. I’m heading into my 2nd year studying Fashion Marketing. I’ll be working alongside the other 3 social secs to ensure we have lots of fun and madness. Get ready for facepaint, VKs, team bonding and a little bit of hockey (of course).
Mish van Nieuwkerk
Social Secretary 7s/8s
Hey guys, I’m Mish and I’m one of the new 7/8s social sec. I study business management and am going into my second year! Hope you don’t mind a bit of face paint, pints and a side of hockey. Being within the hockey society feels like a family and you’ll definitely meet some of your closet mates! Can’t wait to meet you all on the weekly Wednesday socials and an amazing another year of hockey! XX
Team Captains
Ellie Lyne
1st XI Captain
Shalom Jackie, My name’s Ellie, but everyone in the club calls me Blondie – check the picture for the irony in that. I’m back from my year out on placement in London, and am hoping to help the 1s get promoted back into the BUCS Northern 1B in my final year at Leeds. If you’re looking for fun, mates for life, and all things hockey then LUUWHC is the place for you. And, as you can see from my nickname, you should join the club for some first-class wit and banter.
Emilia Harper
2nd XI Captain
Hey I’m Jimmy (Emilia) and I’m captain of the best team in the club, the 2s. I’m in my second year studying Geography. Joining the hockey society was the best decision I’ve made at university, the community is second to none and it’s where I met all of my besties!
Amy Booth
3rd XI Captain
Hey my name’s Amy and I’m going to be the new captain of the zesty threes! I’m going into my second year study politics and parliamentary studies. Joining hockey was the best decision I made last year and I can’t wait to welcome all the new freshies to the best society in Leeds, so here’s to many more Wednesdays nights and another great year of hockey!
Maddy Marshall
4th XI Captain
Hey guys, I’m Maddy, better known as Haggis in the hockey club, and I’m the 4s captain for this year. I can’t wait to continue the success of the team this year, did someone say cup and league winners? I’m going into my second year of Accounting and Finance (BORING) therefore hockey is the high of my week as I get to let loose in Popworld and Fruity. Join LUUWHC, you won’t regret it! It’s the perfect place to socialise with new people and make some new friends. Can’t wait to meet you new freshies x
Hannah Leach
5th XI Captain
Hola chicas, my name is Hannah and I’m heading into 2nd year studying Spanish (if you couldn’t tell by the linguistic intro). When I’m not typing my entire course into google translate, you’ll find me having the time of my life in fruity, or trying to down a pint (it’s a marathon not a sprint in my case). Joining hockey has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as I’ve met some banging people and made some cracking memories, can’t wait for you all to experience this as well!! Xxx
Femke Pusey
6th XI Captain
Hey guys, I’m Fem captain of the 6’s. I am currently going into my second year studying graphic design (which means I have almost no work) so in my spare time you will find me on the hockey pitch or in terrace with all the hockey girls. My 1st year would not have been the same without hockey and although its cheesy you really do make mates for life here, the 6’s are a great place to play some serious hockey if you just want to be more of a social member there is a place for everyone so don’t feel disheartened if you get put in the 6’s we are very competitive, hope to see you at trials x
Georgia Cooper
7th XI Captain
Hi, I’m Georgia and I’m very excited to be 7th team captain this year! I’m going into my 2nd year of studying maths. Being a part of LUUWHC has been the highlight of my uni experience- we do so much more than just play hockey. Hope to see lots of you join the 7s next year so we can have many more incredible Wednesdays, both on and off the pitch!
Allie Beveridge
8th XI Captain
Hey guys, I’m Allie (sometimes known as Bev) and in order to distract myself from the snooze fest that is a chemistry masters, I’m going to be captain of the #edgyeights this year! When I’m not bonding molecules you’ll find me bonding with my teammates and best friends both on the pitch and off it (in terrace). As usual our goal for this year is to win a game (or at the very least not to lose 46-0 again)! So if you want to get some exercise and gain new skills (lol) as well as make friends for life on our legendary Wednesday socials, make the right choice and join the 8s!
