Vale Vic Hocking
Gentleman &
Friend to all
We are deeply saddened to
hear of the sudden passing
of Vic Hocking. Vic’s love
and support of the game
was endless.
First involvement with baseball was
back in the Early ’80s with Canterbury
Bankstown Baseball Club. With his endless
support to the club, he became the Patron
of the Club which then lead to the Club
becoming the Vikings.
An absolute gentleman & friend to all
that crossed his path. Vic was also the
Commissioner of BNSW for some time,
again putting his time and effort into
helping promote our game.
His love and support of the game grew
and continued with him serving as the
Commissioner of BNSW for several years.
Vic also served as the Manager (EO) of the
NSW Claxton Shield Team highlighted by
2 Titles in 2004 & 2005.
