Northern Gaels HC
Are you interested in joining Northern Gaels hurling club? Membership is open to all,
male or female of any age, religion or nationality.
Club Members
We currently have 10 registered club members, five Finns and 5 Irishmen around the Lahti-Hyvinkää
region with a few more players interested a little further afield. We don't have any camogie
players (female members) but welcome any cailíní who wish to join.
Training
Training normally takes place on Sunday afternoons in Hyvinkää. We train on the soccer facilities
at ___ but are in search of a more suitable location. We also aim to start regular training
in Lahti, if there's enough players interested.
Equipment
A tracksuit, runners or football boots are fine. The club will supply hurleys for the
training sessions which you can purchase from the club. Permanent club members are encouraged
to buy their own hurleys, either from the club or from another source if the wish. Club hurleys are Euro 20.
Helmets or other protectibe gear are not supplied by the club. They are
not required but can be used if so desired. Ice-hockey helmets are similar in design and much cheaper
than hurling helmets.
Membership Fee
This year we are instigating a small membership fee. The price is not fixed yet but will be small and
is required to help purchase equipment for the club and cover other costs. You are only required to
pay the membership fee when you commit as a full member.
