Hockey Tasmania | 2019 Annual Report 6 REPORT FROM THE CHAIR In my 2017 report, and again in my 2018 report, I referred to the concern the Board had over the state of our sport in Launceston. Discussions have continued with the Council led by our hard working Board members from that region – Nic Duffy and Brett Ken Withington. It is taking time, the lack of progress is Read frustrating but we will make progress. Board Chair Our volunteers deserve special mention. So many have been willing to contribute across diverse aspects IT IS MY PLEASURE TO REPORT to the community of of our sport. I do not confine my thanks to those who Hockey Tasmania by way of the 2019 Annual Report. have assisted HT but to all who give of their time at State, regional and club level especially those who Given the tumultuous events related to COVID 19 it assist our juniors. is difficult to write this 2019 report without one eye on what has occurred in 2020. However that is the nature of an annual report written well after the end of the year to which it relates.

By the end of 2019 HT had reached a healthy cash Despite the continued position. Despite the continued presence of the presence of the debt debt of $1m we continue as a viable not-for-profit organisation. I wish to thank Damian and his staff as of $1m we continue as well as the finance director Glenn Lucas for their hard a viable not-for-profit and dedicated work that has led us to this position. I organisation note that our Tigers players no longer have to pay to play but get an allowance and that the levy for these“ I conclude by thanking the members of the HT Board. teams has been dropped. We also did not pass on the I repeat what I said last year that I am amazed at your rapacious HA fee increase to our members. Hockey commitment to our sport.

The Tassie Tigers Men finished Board. His contribution to our sport has been and third in the inaugural Hockey One: yet another will continue to be enormous. great result from the leading coach in Australia, Andrew McDonald. Our Tassie Tigers Women showed enormous improvement under coach Luke Doerner. Junior teams were all competitive and contained Tasmanians. Unfortunately in 2019 we lost the services of Ilene Carr. I was extremely disappointed at the lack of consultation from the TIS for this extremely valuable and committed servant of our game. Thankfully our financial position has permitted us to advertise for a paid position as head of the Tiger’s Academy. This initiative will see hockey improve throughout Tasmania.

Hockey Tasmania | 2019 Annual Report 10 HALL OF FAME

Hockey Tasmania Chair Ken Read (left) presents Judith Burgess (nee Humphries) with her certificate celebrating her induction into the Hockey Australia Hall of Fame. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 51 MEMBERS OF THE HOCKEY AUSTRALIA HALL OF FAME which is awarded to Australian players or officials who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in hockey competition at the highest level available. Judith Burgess was often referred to as Tasmania’s greatest hockey player in her time. As a goalkeeper she first played for Tasmania in 1956, when she was only sixteen, against a touring England team. England beat Tasmania 4-3 at Queenborough Oval, but the highlight of the match was the young Tasmanian goalkeeper’s performance. Players of both teams were said to have clapped her from the field. Judy was selected the following year for the National Championships in and retained her position in the Tasmanian team until her retirement at the end of 1970. Judy played 69 games for Tasmania including games against Japan, Malaysia, England and New Zealand.

Judy’s great qualities of concentration, skill and unswerving determination ensured her a long and outstanding career as the Australian goalkeeper. Judy first gained selection on the Australian team in 1959 and her time as an international player included a World Cup in 1967 and a tour of Europe and South Africa in 1970. Judy was inducted into the Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame in 1987 and Hockey Australia is pleased to induct her into the Hockey Australia Hall of Fame in 2019.

A NEW-LOOK TEAM FOR A NEW-LOOK NATIONAL LEAGUE

In 2019 the elite national domestic competition, formerly the (AHL), was rebranded as the Sultana Bran Hockey One league. It featured new-look teams and uniforms but, most importantly, restructured the competition into a home-and-away format while bringing on new live broadcast providers and Kayo Sports for a professional product that took brought the best players in the country back playing in front of 2019 HOCKEY ONE their local fans. LEAGUE MVP Hockey Tasmania were fully committed to the new competition #11 eddie and worked hard to ensure that Tasmania would field equal men’s and ockenden women’s teams in a national league again, as we have done for decades. The profile and excitement around the new league allowed us to bring on board higher level sponsorships and partnerships from both the State Government and some remarkable local businesses, as well as offer exclusive foundation membership opportunities and merchandise to Tasmanian fans at home or on the mainland.

The Tassie Tigers played an exciting and competitive brand of hockey, with our women surprising many and scoring a rousing victory over Perth despite finishing seventh overall, while the men secured another podium finish with third place as well as captain claiming the inaugural Hockey One league MVP award.

THE TASSIE TIGERS MEN loved the Hockey One competition, loved the format and loved being able to play for Tasmania, especially in front of a home crowd.

It was an exciting year, with some quite pleasing match results, but obviously we are making too many semi-finals without progressing to the last dance, so we have to work harder and smarter. The athletes led by Ockenden, Deavin and many others are striving to improve.

We do face some challenges ahead in reviewing our playing style. Will it provide us with sustained success?

I am confident that the Tassie Tigers have some good depth and many leaders who will underpin the Tigers into the future. We appreciate the many volunteers, await the opportunity to play again soon and in 2019 Hockey Tasmania, sponsors and supporters who we have proven we belong in the top 4 of the Hockey invigorate the team as a whole.

It was a very short matches. This obviously culminated in our last match preparation time leading into the competition beating who were needing to unfortunately due to my international commitments. win the match to make the finals. The future is very bright for this group of players moving forward, I The nomination numbers and eagerness of players think this was very evident by some of the individual to want to be part of the Tigers program was very performances of the younger members in our squad pleasing to see and encouraging for the sport throughout the competition. I can imagine many moving forward in Tasmania. We had a fantastic younger players within Tasmania are now working mix of players within the extended squad, we also hard to give themselves the opportunity to play had a wide range of ages and nationalities within for the Tigers in the Hockey One competition after the playing group.

Unfortunately because of the u/13 carnival and Hockey 1 games and consequent ground logistics the course was split as follows:

1. 4th and Saturday 5th of October 2019 during under 13 State Championships and Hockey 1 Competitions; and 2. Sunday 1 March 2010 9am – 4pm.

16. Going Concern Within Australia and globally, unprecedented measures have been introduced to control the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, including travel and trade restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings and temporary business closures. These significant measures have had a sudden and substantial negative impact on economic activity, with certain industry sectors experiencing unforeseen financial difficulties. The expected duration and magnitude of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its potential implications on the economy remains unclear. Should these circumstances become severe or prolonged, it is expected to have a material adverse impact on the global and Australian economies, which in turn may have a material adverse impact on the entity’s financial performance and position and puts significant doubt on the entities ability to continue as a going concern.

Hockey Tasmania | 2019 Annual Report 63 Hockey Tasmania | 2019 Annual Report 64 Hockey Tasmania Inc. Auditor’s Independence Declaration For the Year Ended 31 December 2019

Dear Members

As auditor for the Hockey Tasmania Inc. for the year ended 31 December 2019, I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been:

1) No contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1964 (Tas) in relation to the audit; and

2) No contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

This declaration is in respect of the above-mentioned association.

Yours sincerely

………………………………………… Michael Burnett B.Com.F.C.A. Registered Company Auditor: 281 Partner Level 1/18 Ross Avenue, Rosny Park TAS 7018

Dated: 12 / 05 / 2020

2019 FINANCIAL REPORT

Hockey Tasmania | 2019 Annual Report 65 Independent Auditor’s Report

To the members of Hockey Tasmania Inc

Qualified Opinion We have audited the financial report of Hockey Tasmania Inc, (the Entity), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the declaration by those charged with governance.

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the accompanying financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at 31 December 2019 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Associations Incorporation Act 1964 (Tas).

Basis for Qualified Opinion The bar and kiosk income is a significant source of revenue for Hockey Tasmania Inc. The Hockey Tasmania Inc has determined that it is impracticable to establish control over the collection of bar and kiosk income prior to entry into its financial records. Accordingly, as the evidence available to us regarding revenue from this source was limited, our audit procedures with respect to bar and kiosk income had to be restricted to the amounts recorded in the financial records. We therefore are unable to express an opinion on whether the recorded bar and kiosk income of Hockey Tasmania Inc is complete.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standard Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter – Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared to assist Hockey Tasmania Inc to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1964 (Tas). As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Emphasis of Matter – Going Concern We draw attention to Note 16 to the financial report, which describes the Entity’s ability to continue operating as a going concern due to the current and future economic impact of COVID-19. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Hockey Tasmania | 2019 Annual Report 66 Responsibilities of the Board and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Report The Board are responsible for the preparation of the financial report in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 1964 (Tas), and for such internal control as the Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the Board are responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
