About Flynn
Flynn Ogilvie’s passion for hockey started at just four years of age, growing up alongside five siblings (three brothers and two sisters) who were also keen players.
Hailing from the University of Wollongong Hockey Club, the talented midfielder made his representative debut for Australia at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games where Australia walked away with the gold medal.
In 2014 Flynn made his senior international debut with the Kookaburras in a Test series against India. He has been a regular feature in the squad ever since and has gone on to win gold medals at the 2015 and 2019 Oceania Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2016 and 2018.
Also a keen indoor hockey player, Flynn played with his brothers Kurt and Heath at the 2015 International Hockey Federation (FIH) Indoor World Cup in Germany.
While a serious hamstring injury took him out of play in 2017, Flynn returned just in time for the 2018 Commonwealth Games where Australia won gold.
Off the back of the Commonwealth Games he went on to win World Cup bronze in November 2018, and Pro League gold in June 2019.
At Tokyo 2020 Flynn was part of the silver medal-winning Kookaburras, who fought valiantly in the final and only just missed out on a gold medal in a heart-breaking penalty shootout against Belgium.
