Empowerment through Sport and Education

The Guv Dillon Foundation was founded in 2016, in memory of Gurvinder "Guv" Dillon.

He started playing hockey at the age of 6 and immediately fell in love with the game.

Guv made significant contributions to the hockey community in Hong Kong at all levels, not only as a Player and Coach for the Hong Kong team, but also at grassroots level as an active Junior Hockey Committee member.

Guv passed away from cancer in 2015, at the age of 34.

Guv was a visionary who challenged the status quo and strived to improve the game he loved for everyone.

He had a special gift for connecting with children and inspired many young players under his guidance.

Guv was passionate about inspiring and empowering disconnected youths, and with reengaging them back into their communities through sport and education.
