A gold medallist, five-time hockey player of the year and one of the greatest hockey players to ever play the game.

On top of all of that, Jamie Dwyer had the golden stick in one of the most famous Australian Olympic gold medal victories in the 21st century. He describes it all with Howie - from the match winning moment, to the celebrations as well as life after such a big event.

As one of the most decorated hockey players of all time, the little magician talks about his early beginnings in the sport in Rockhampton, the challenges he faced along the way, and the sacrifices (financial, logistical and political) that he had to make to become one of the best players in the world.

Jamie also shares his business venture, Jamie Dwyer Hockey, which is taking the world by storm.
