We are pleased to share that Reuben Diffey (Director of Property Formula) will join the board of Directors for the Oxford Rising Stars!

Reuben has always been fanatical about sport and supporting others developing their sporting passions.

Reuben’s own career began at just 12 when he won the UK Superkids championship competition.

Reuben continued his all round sporting career as he competed in modern pentathlon for England in the U16 and U18 in the 1990 and 1992 European athletic championships.

Following an injury in 1996 aged just 22 Reuben broke his hip falling from his horse whilst training for the seniors finals in Berlin, ending his sporting career.

Since then Reuben has followed and supported a wide range of sports and supported sporting charities.

Reubens first ice hockey encounter was in 2006 watching the Varsity match in Oxford, but it took a further introduction from Russ Shrives in 2017 to see the local team play at Oxpen’s to cement that interest.

Reuben’s passion to see local talent develop and players bond and support their growth as a team has been captured right here at the Oxford Rising Stars, so it is with great pleasure we introduce Reuben Diffey as one of your new Rising Stars Directors.

Oh, and finally, Reuben didn’t ever do Pentathlon!!

Ask Reuben about anything property, land and his black Labrador, Florence.

Director Russ Shrives said:

“Reuben has been involved in Oxford ice hockey for a number of years. Having previously been a member of the Rising Stars board, he will be a great addition to our club as a director. Bringing a wealth of business experience which will help us plan and develop at board level. This will filter down through the club in the quality and standards that we are building. I am very much looking forward in working with Reuben and the other Directors in growing the club on and off the ice”

“Season 3, Here we come!!
