The Waikato Hockey Association is pleased to be hosting the 2008 National U18 Boys Premier Tournament from Monday July 7th to Saturday July 12th. We extend a very warm welcome to all players, officials and supporters.

The hockey turf is located at the Gallagher Hockey Centre, Queens Avenue, Hamilton

Accommodation
Please find attached list of accomodation details within close proximity to the Gallagher Hockey Centre.

Facilities
We are a twin water surface complex with the Hockey Pavilion overlooking #1 turf and open seating overlooking #2 turf. A full canteen service will be operating.

Meeting rooms are available but we would recommend teams come to the turf dressed ready for games and we suggest they shower back at their accommodation. Showers are available but we do not recommend their use because of the volume of foot traffic through them.

Parking is available at the Gallagher Hockey Centre. We advise you to keep all vehicles locked and suggest you do not leave valuables in them. Security checks of the car park will be carried out on a regular basis. There will be reserved places for team mini buses.
We ask that you avoid parking in Queens Avenue and Mary Street.

Draw will be prepared by Hockey New Zealand.

Managers Meeting will be held on Sunday July 6th at 6.30pm in the Waikato Hockey Pavilion. Reminders re registration forms, uniform samples (both primary and alternative) and an agenda will follow.

First Aid.
A St Johns representative will be in attendance during all games.
Ice will be available in the Dugouts.
