Penny Squibb

Penny Squibb (hockey) made her Commonwealth Games debut for Australia in Birmingham after playing just 14 games for the Hockeyroos.

Penny grew up on the family farm in Tambellup and started playing hockey by chance at the age of six  when her sister broke her arm and her team was down a player. She was picked in her first state team when she was 14, requiring an eight-hour round trip to Perth each weekend. She was selected for the Australian under-21 team in 2011 during a four-team tournament in India. Penny made the Australian development squad in 2017 and then her senior debut in late 2018 against Argentina.  She was omitted from the squad in 2020, then fought her way back for Olympic selection in 2021, however her Tokyo campaign cruelly ended after suffering a leg injury at the pre-Olympic training camp in Darwin.
