Nicole Laarhoven

Hi! My name is Nicole and my greatest passion is Hockey. As the founder of The Hockey Center, I enjoy making people happy through hockey products for everyone who likes hockey!

I am an all-rounder so you can meet me anywhere.
I especially enjoy having a nice chat between the hockey gear :)

Manuel Verga

Hi! I'm Manuel, or Manu as most call me. I play hockey at the Almeerse Hockey Club in Men's 1 and work at The Hockey Centre. Graphic design and hockey are my two passions. I like to combine these two at The Hockey Center where I am responsible for all expressions, online and offline.

Come by the store and play a ball with me on our cool hockey field!

Sanne Keijer

Hey! My name is Sanne and I have enjoyed working at The Hockey Center for a few years. I have been playing hockey at the Almeerse Hockey Club for as long as I can remember. I enjoy helping someone extensively and having a chat. I am always very interested in where our customers play hockey and what they bring to us. I am responsible for the stock in the store, so be sure to come to me if you are looking for something specific and we can look at it together.

I hope to see you in the store soon and I will be happy to help you!
Until then!

Merle Verhagen

Hi! My name is Merle and I have enjoyed working at The Hockey Center for a number of years. I have created everything you see on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and in your email. I mainly focus on creating content and enjoy developing new creative ideas. In addition to working at The Hockey Center, I have been playing hockey at the Almeerse Hockey Club for many years. I like the combination of playing hockey and working at The Hockey Center. Of course I also like to have a chat with everyone who comes to our store.

Sebastian Burdorf

Hey! My name is Sebas, and I have been working at TheHockey Center for a few years. In the beginning I mainly helped at events and gave training, but for a year now I can also be found in the store. I have been playing hockey for 10 years with great pleasure at the Almere hockey club, which is very nice to combine with working at THC. I have also been active for a long time as a trainer of various youth teams. You can always contact me for advice or questions and I will regularly be at events!

Dafne Belou

Hey! My name is Dafne and I have been working at The Hockey Center for a while now. I can be found in the store, but also at events. I have been playing hockey at the Almere hockey club for 12 years and enjoy it. I am also active there as a trainer. This can be easily combined with working at The Hockey Centre.

See you soon at the events or in our store!

Lorien Kindt

Hey! My name is Lorien and I have been working at the hockey Center for quite some time. At first mainly behind the scenes, in the warehouse, but nowadays I can also be found in the store and at events. I played hockey at the Almeerse Hockey Club for 11 years and since this year I have been playing at the Drienerlo Hockey Club in Enschede, because I study there. As a result, I am less physically present than my colleagues, but I am just as involved in the store as they are.

Hopefully see you soon in the store or at events!

Sofie Ferwerda

Hi! Ik ben Sofie en ik werk sinds kort bij The Hockey Centre! Ook kan je mij op het hockeyveld vinden van de Almeerse Hockeyclub. Inmiddels hockey ik al 12 jaar lang met veel plezier.
Hockey is een van mijn grootste passies en dat kan ik bij The Hockey Centre goed combineren. Waar ik hoop mijn liefde voor het spelletje over te kunnen brengen naar de klanten!

Hopelijk tot snel!
