Testimonials

Hi Paul,

Just a quick note to thank you so much for all of your great work this weekend, everyone that spoke to us were seriously impressed with the quality and ease of the streaming, with the replays, commentary and clarity / angles etc.

It must have been a serious pain trying to coordinate everything with all of us playing / not always able to answer calls etc, you were still nothing but courteous and went above and beyond to cater to several people's whims on every occasion, so for this I am truly grateful!

Thanks again and hopefully we can work together again in the future.

Kind regards,

Fainche Faherty | Secretary

Queensland Gaelic Football and Hurling Association Inc.

Hi Paul, on behalf of the club I wanted to thank you for all your great work on family day and for once again bringing something forward thinking to hockey in Sydney. I know it's not easy doing what we do but we really appreciate the effort you go to not just for our family day but to promote hockey generally.

I just wanted to take a moment to say 'thank you' for your perseverance and commitment in finalising QUU's two DVDs. Your efforts and drive were very much appreciated.

All feedback about the DVDs were one word - 'excellent'.

Thanks again for your professionalism, staying the distance and meeting the incredible time lines set to deliver two great products.

It's been a little over a month and a half since we had Paul Mills at the Ryde Hills-Hunter

District Hockey Club.

The engagement of his services was to film a number of segments including: the Club's history

(now in our 80th year), interview a number of key personnel, and show case the major matches

played on our Club's annual family day.

In the lead up before the formal engagement of Paul, there was much debate as to whether the

Club required such a service.. A number of our management team were not as positive about

such an endeavour.

However, after now experiencing first-hand Paul's professionalism, manner and all-round

dedication to the production of great media the team is unanimous in their overwhelming

support and satisfaction.

Paul, turned our preliminary thoughts and outlines into a great show piece event for all the

players, parents, supporters and the management team at the Club.

It became a great focal point for the Club to capture the essence of "who we are", with the final

production of his work something we are all very proud of.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Paul and would not hesitate to recommend his

outstanding services to others.

To my friends in the Brisbane Hockey Community..10.9.18

This coming Saturday marks the end of an era in Brisbane Hockey with a farewell to the streaming and broadcast services from Paul Mills and the team at HockeyZone. For those of you not fortunate enough to have spoken with Paul, his passion and enthusiasm is inspiring and the efforts he has made to promote our sport is unsurpassed in recent years.

Brisbane Hockey and Brisbane Women’s Hockey have made the decision to no longer fund HockeyZone’s services. I was present for some of the deliberations and I know this decision was not made lightly, with members grappling with the need to balance total cost against overall return to the hockey community. In the end it was believed that there was a more critical need to reduce the overall cost of the sport and to offset other rising bills. I hope that this means charges and fee increases to the clubs can be delayed another year or two and that fees to players can also be kept stationary, or possibly even come down a little, I won’t hold my breath but it would be nice!

HockeyZone has been a wonderful contributor to the sport in Brisbane providing score updates, live streams , recorded information sessions and other features. In recent years the team has been broadcasting top division Men’s and Women’s matches, weekly as well as games from the premier Junior divisions. When I haven’t been able to get to a game it has been invaluable to be able to tune into HockeyZone for the match of the day and scores from other grounds. Paul has enlisted the assistance of a dedicated group of commentators and has provided valuable coaching and support to young, aspiring camera operators and broadcast engineers.

Farewell HockeyZone, best wishes and thanks to Paul Mills and team for a wonderful service over so many years. If you see him next Saturday be sure to thank him for a job well done. If you can’t get there, watch the live stream , because it’s the last chance you will have to do so!
