SWS Tour coming to EGHC this year! 

After the successful SWS tournament last year in Rouen. We are pleased to say this years tournament will take place at Home in East Grinstead between the 10th and 13th July 2026..

We are aiming to have 3 teams this year as normal, U16 Boys, U16/18 Girls and U18 Boys, but with it being at home more the merrier.
SWS stands for Sebastian Wolff Stiftung and is a foundation created by Hinrich and Doni Wolff in memory of their late son Sebastian. Sebastian went from his home in Hamburg to Rouen in France in 2000 to study and play hockey. He was financed by another hockey foundation. Then in 2002 after tragic car accident whilst in Rouen, Sebastian lost his life. His parents Hinrich and Doni decided to create a Hockey foundation to honour his memory.

The tournament is between 3 clubs EGHC, Flotbek (Hamburg) and Rouen (France). It has now been running for over 24years! A true testament to how successful this Junior tournament has been.

The idea of the weekend is to build friendships with those from a different background and nationality but having hockey as the common denominator and finding common ground in the sport we all love.

As the tournament is at home this year. We ask that our players host our friends from France and Germany in groups of 2 or more. We only ask that you provide a place to sleep, breakfast and transport to and from the club each day. All other meals will be supplied at the club over the weekend. Those who host will get priority into the team

This is a fabulous opportunity to build international friendships, experience different cultures, clubs & hospitality.
