In the June–July 2016 edition of Hockey Player Magazine, journalist Pierre Vangrootloon includes Hockey Corporate in a broader feature about the rise of festive and social hockey formats in Belgium. The article describes how events such as Apéro Ligue, festivals and corporate tournaments have transformed summer hockey into a vibrant community activity attracting thousands of participants every year.
The feature highlights how Hockey Corporate stands out within this movement, offering companies a dynamic team-building concept mixing sport, fun and corporate identity. According to the article, Hockey Corporate brings together employees from public and private organisations, allowing them to reconnect with hockey — whether as experienced players or complete beginners — while strengthening team cohesion. The tournament now welcomes more than 130 teams, a remarkable evolution from its early editions.
The magazine also emphasises that Hockey Corporate’s flexibility, with three levels of play (Beginner, Fun, Expert), plays a key role in its growing popularity. This structure ensures that every participant finds their place and enjoys the experience, reinforcing the idea that corporate hockey is accessible and enjoyable for all.
Hockey Player Magazine concludes by noting that Hockey Corporate is not only a sports event but also a powerful social connector, now firmly rooted in Brussels and Brabant-Wallon — with potential for future expansion. The article celebrates it as one of the most successful initiatives blending hockey, celebration and corporate culture.
