Helping Tassie inline hockey hopefuls follow their dreams
Here at GSD, we're not just about helping to change the future for businesses, but for the community.
For the past 6 years we have supported young Tasmanian athletes to attend the Australian Inline Hockey Championships by sponsoring jerseys, caps, equipment and transport.
Our co-founders John and Kerrie Mazengarb are huge supporters of the sport.
‘For us, it’s not just about supporting up-and-coming inline hockey stars,’ Kerrie says, ‘but helping to provide a pathway for these children who may otherwise not have the opportunity.
‘We know the benefits of team sport go far beyond physical health, including positive social impacts and connections and mental health benefits.
