The Flying Dutchman | Chapter 4: Legacy

Help us make The Flying Dutchman Documentary -> https://gofund.me/fc3a43d7

Moving to a country as far from the memories of his past as a plane could take him, David 'Dickie' Groenteman made a fresh start with his family on Australian shores.

It's here that Dickie harnessed his passion for his beloved ice hockey to literally build a sporting legacy across the nation and abroad with his own hands.

Now as the 99-year-old faces his final battle against a slow and silent killer, he imparts powerful wisdom that we could all learn a lot from.

If you’d like to see photos and hear more about Dickie and all of the character’s that played a role in his incredible life story follow Stories Told on Instagram and Facebook @storiestoldau.

If you recognise any of the names of key characters from these tales, we'd love to hear from you so get in touch with me via email - [email protected].
