He played all seven matches as forward and scored seven goals.[1] After retiring from competitions he became a hockey coach, and between 1961 and 1969 trained the national team.[2]
Career
Bromberg played in Singapore with a Netherlands East-Indies team in 1937. He played club hockey in Singapore between 1937 and 1940, captaining the S.C.C. team. His stick-work and speed earned him the nickname 'the flying Dutchman'.[3]
