ReTribe

19/05/2026

Sam Lyne, Liam Kirk and Logan Neilson on the ice today, representing ReTribe in one of the biggest games of the championship. With Pete Russell leading the way, this is a coach who can get the best out of anybody and knows exactly how to pull a group together. And when the British do that, really do that, there is nothing quite like it. Trust the work, trust each other, and go and do it. The whole Tribe is with you.

Liam and the team are over at the World Championships, stepping into the most important game of the tournament on Tuesday. We are so honoured that Liam Kirk is there representing ReTribe and the work we are doing to support players. Liam understands how players need to be supported.
Go well out there Kirky and Team GB. We will all be watching

One of the most meaningful parts of the recent England Ice Hockey Showcase weekend was hearing from parents afterwards.

Parents who have watched their children navigate the pressures, expectations and emotions that come with the game and who understood exactly why these conversations matter.

When young players are given space to be themselves, not just as athletes but as people, it changes the environment around them completely.

These testimonials from U15 parents mean a lot to us because they reinforce what ReTribe is all about… creating healthier cultures, stronger connection and better support systems throughout hockey.

Because the future of the game is about more than developing players, it’s about developing people too.

A year ago today, ReTribe was introduced to the international hockey world at the World Championships coaches symposium.

Since then, we've worked with dozens of coaches, players, officials and parents. Helping them navigate the ever-changing landscape of ice hockey. Not just to deal with what gets thrown at them, but to thrive at levels they hadn't thought possible.

We keep hearing that what we're doing, and how we're doing it, isn't being done anywhere else. Supporting players, yes. But also unlocking human potential.
All in a year.

And we're not slowing down. Our mobile app launches at the end of this year's World Championships, putting what we do directly into the hands of the hockey community.

Thank you to the IIHF and to Luc Tardif for believing in us, and in what we do.

One of the most powerful parts of the recent England Ice Hockey Showcase weekend was hearing from the players afterwards.

When young people feel seen, understood and able to be themselves within the game, something shifts.

This testimonial from a U17 player means a lot to us because it reinforces exactly why these conversations matter and why creating healthier environments in hockey is so important.

The future of the game is not just about developing better players, it’s about developing better humans too.

This past weekend, our founder Nick Rothwell had the opportunity to speak with the U15 and U17 age groups at the England Ice Hockey Draft Showcase in Sheffield, with players, parents and coaches all in the room together.

The conversations centred around toughness, joy and what it really means to be a full human being within the game, not just an athlete.

The response afterwards meant a lot. We’ve had parents reaching out to say how much it resonated, players saying it was something they hadn’t heard before, but had been waiting for.

None of this is new… humans have always needed connection, community and space to be themselves. Somewhere along the way, sport forgot to leave room for that.

That’s what ReTribe is here to help change and we’re grateful to England Ice Hockey for helping to open the door.

We’re just getting started 👀

A space with no agenda, no pressure and no expectation.

Just somewhere to step away from the demands of elite sport… to breathe, reset and be yourself for a moment.

That’s what the Neutral Zone is about.

𝗔 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗘𝗥𝗔 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗘 🤝

We’re proud to announce the launch of the first-ever ReTribe Neutral Zone in the UK, arriving in Nottingham during Great Britain Men’s pre-World Championship series. 🇬🇧

A dedicated space for players and staff to step away from the demands of elite sport to pause, decompress and connect, with no agenda and no expectation.

“This is about offering something independent, somewhere people can go that feels genuinely safe.” - Nick Rothwell

This is a big step forward in how we support people within the game.

More to come very soon 🔜

Our Events Manager, Hannah Martinson, made sure ReTribe was seen at EIHL playoff weekend! 🙌

From rinkside to around the city, here are just a few places the ReTribe hat showed up 👀

It’s always bigger than the game… it’s about showing up, being present and building connection wherever we go.

In hockey we’re taught to be resilient, to push through, dig deep and find something extra when it matters most, and more often than not, there’s always a little more there to give.

What we’ve seen time and time again is that when you keep pushing without understanding what’s driving your reactions, you end up carrying the same patterns with you, just getting through it rather than actually moving through it.

This is where self-awareness comes in and it’s why the Tough Through Tender programme, created by Dr Misia Gervis, pairs the two together

Self-awareness isn’t complicated, it’s about starting to notice what’s going on beneath the surface, the thoughts, the feelings, the signals your body is constantly giving you and learning how to respond with intention rather than just reacting in the moment.

When you bring those two things together, resilience stops being about survival and starts becoming something more grounded, more consistent and more sustainable

Your body already knows what’s going on, the question is whether you’re taking the time to listen…
