Underlines the fact that 360 is nothing more than a money making scheme for Hockey Wales. Complete disconnect with the club sand schools. Hockey Wales rather than support the growth of the game in Wales are in the process of killing it completely.

These proposals make a mockery of 360 Hockey. Take our money insisting that this is the only way to be considered for Welsh honours yet give it to foreigners for free!!!

This will ruin the chance for every local hockey player to be given the opportunity to play for their Welsh Homeland.

There are good athletes in wales with a genuine validity to play for the national teams with pride. Do not allow clubs commitments to the programs to be wasted by allowing players from outside with tenuous links to wales to be allowed to play for the national squads.

The introduction of `plastic' Welsh players would be detrimental to the genuine Welsh players and their progression in the game.

This will just give Wales a lesser opportunity to compete at the highest level and compete well.

If some of the Grassroots of Wales Hockey belive this then it is the correct thing to do.

We are a small nation with a small enough pool of players to begin with, why restrict the options even further?

Doesn't allow the youth in wales to show their potential, denied several youth their chance throughout the age groups, develop our youth and dont pick players from across the border

My son does not have a Welsh Grandparent so he would be out, even though he has lived in Wales since he was a baby!
