Reg Treacy RIP
June 24, 2015
The Board of the Leinster Hockey Association was saddened to learn of the passing of Reg Treacy.
Reg made history in Irish hockey when he became the first player to amass 50 caps for Ireland. A strong, attack-minded player, he had an eye for goal and developed the reputation as a dangerous forward, who preferred to play on the left side of the field. A player of exquisite touch and skill, the Munster man's weaving runs were to the delight of spectators and the torment of defenders.
Reg was one of the few players who played for Ireland in both of the first two European Nations Cups in Brussels (1970) and Madrid (1974).
He was inducted into the Irish Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006.
International Career ;1960 - 1974
International Caps ; 53
