Covid-19 Update

Our offices are currently closed and our staff are working remotely. Best point of contact is mobile or email.

UPDATE: 25.3.20
With recent changes imposed by government all hockey dates are null and void and will be reassessed at a point in time when the government advises the current crisis is at an end and life can get back to some level of normality. This means that those schools that have not had the opportunity to organise teams will not miss out and will be given an opportunity once schools get back up and running.

This will spur a lot of questions that at this time we are simply unable to answer. We will be in contact when we are able to make decisions about the 2020 Hockey season.


WHA

It is with great regret that we need to advise our whole hockey community that with the continuing efforts of all to help minimize the spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) that all hockey throughout New Zealand has been postponed until Saturday 2nd May 2020.  We have detailed below the announcement from Hockey New Zealand;
