"At a recent Gold Coast IPTV start-up meeting, Rod Milne was asking me about cricket, and I explained although cricket was my area of ministry, it wasn't my game" remarked M V Tronson. "Actually, field hockey is my passion."
"That initiated a vibrant discussion on field hockey and as soon as Rod Milne mentioned his surname, I recognised it's 'hockey' link immediately," M V Tronson explained.
After a vibrant discussion about field hockey, when each of them recognised the other's name 'in context', Rod Milne spoke of his business involvement in 'Just Hockey' and suggested exploring ways in which these five hockey book might be updated.
"We are continuing with ongoing formal and informal communications," noted Mark Tronson. "I am also keen to interview Rod Milne for the Australian Missionary News IPTV on his past and current involvement with hockey."
