Family
The son of Pieter Jan (a.k.a. Peter John) Hazewinkel (-1923),[1][2] and Louisa Wilhemina Hazewinkel (-1917), née von Weihen,[3][4] Vernon Percy Hazewinkel was born in Prahran on 28 October 1889. He married Margaret Hazel Sindrey (1894-1977) in 1917.
Football
Hazel was recruited from Coburg and in one and a half seasons at St Kilda managed just three appearances. During 1910 he crossed to Melbourne and the following season he joined his third club, Essendon. He was the beneficiary of an injury to Allan Belcher in the finals series and lined up as a back pocket in the 1911 Grand Final win. Also used at half forward, Belcher finished his career back in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) with Brighton.
Boxing
In 1916 Hazel was the amateur welterweight champion of Victoria, he entered the professional ranks in September of that year.[5]
