Dear Members
I start this update with the news that esteemed Dapto Hockey Club Life Member Dave Simmons passed away during the week after a long battle with illness.
Simmo was at Dapto when the club commenced in 1978 and has been an integral part of our hockey community.
Dave played over 360 senior games for Dapto and many more in our junior sides. Dave represented hockey at the local level and was a part of many association Boards and committees.
For Dapto, Dave was instrumental in supporting junior development and our current 1st grade team is reflective of Daves strong influence in nurturing Dapto juniors. There wasn’t a position that Dave hasn’t held on the Dapto Club Committee.
Simmo bled blue and gold and he was a player who wore his heart on his sleeve and was a great mate too many of us.
Our condolences go out to Amie, Dylan, Georgia, Emma, Bayden, and Scott.
His contribution will be remembered forever.
