Malcolm’s departure AUCKLAND HOCKEY ANNUAL REPORT 2015 / 03 presidents review I start by saying that we must never forget the countless hours of work put into the business, which is AK Hockey, by the volunteers. We are not a well-off sport; our playing surfaces cost a lot of money and we, the hockey community, have to carry that burden but, on top of that, a huge number of you give freely and willingly of your time and expertise. Some of you make extraordinary eff orts; you will appreciate that I cannot name one or a few because I would risk off ending dozens of others but you are all good people. In mentioning the volunteers, I do want to give credit to David Curtis and his team. For those who turn up to play, have a refreshment afterwards and go home, I suppose it is not something which is entirely visible but, year in-year out, they battle away on our behalf to make things easier for us. 04 / AUCKLAND HOCKEY ANNUAL REPORT 2015 2015 was a good one for AK Hockey funding from the council • Increase in junior registrations some of the highlights were: (previously each project had to with over 200 junior teams go through a contestable process competing.

  • Media Release Black Sticks Women Take on Argentina
    MEDIA RELEASE BLACK STICKS WOMEN TAKE ON ARGENTINA Thursday, 18 March 2010 A youthful Black Sticks Women’s team is set to face the experienced Argentinean team later this month. Ranked as the number two team in the world, the Argentinean women’s team – aptly named Las Leonas (The Lionesses) – will bring its fast, attacking style to New Zealand for a three test series against New Zealand. The three test series is being played in Hamilton (March 31) and Tauranga (April 2 and 3). Black Sticks Women’s Coach, Mark Hager, says the opportunity to play against such a high calibre team is crucial for the women’s build up this year. “With the women’s World Cup, Champions Trophy and Commonwealth Games all in the latter part of this year, this series will give the team another chance to put their skills to the test on the international stage.” Hager has picked a young team of 20 players from his squad. The more experienced Black Sticks players such as Kayla Sharland, Emily Naylor and Krystal Forgesson are currently overseas, along with Katie Glynn, and were not available for this series. “Our focus is on the long game. The team has a huge year of hockey in front of them, and every game which builds our international exposure helps towards this.” For further information please contact: Val Hayes Acting Communications Manager Hockey New Zealand +64 27 291 2873 Team lists for Hamilton and Tauranga games respectively, on following pages.

  • Mad Butcher Club at MT SMART STADIUM, HOME of the MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 20Th November 2015 Newsletter #99
    Sir Peter Leitch’s Mad Butcher Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 20th November 2015 Newsletter #99 Rest Jonah in Lomu Peace 1975 - 2015 O SAY I was shocked to get home to New Zealand to the news that we had lost a good man with the Tpassing of Jonah Lomu is an understatement. I simply could not believe it. Only last week we were tweeting each other about meeting up for lunch. I have had the pleasure of knowing Jonah for many years, and I can not claim to be his best friend, but there was certainly a mutual respect between us. I agree with all of those who have been saying that many Kiwis really did not understand just how big Jonah was. I remember going with the Kiwis to the UK in 2005, and to be frank, wearing black jerseys everywhere, peo- ple often mistook us for rugby players and wanted to talk about Jonah. There were huge billboards with his image on it and you have to remember that big sports companies like adidas like their pound of flesh, so when their playing days are over, many players are quickly discarded. It was never like that for Jonah, the opposite in fact, with adidas using him as a global ambassador for the brand, and for rugby. It has all been said, the gentle giant, the amazing athlete, the humble man – and all of it tis true. He will be sadly missed and I know you will all join me in sending our condolences to his family.

  • Black Sticks Women's Team Announced for Champions Trophy
    Media release 23 April 2011 Black Sticks Women’s team announced for Champions Trophy Black Sticks Women’s coach Mark Hager has announced the 18 players that will take on the world’s best teams at the Champions Trophy in Amsterdam in June. The Champions Trophy (25 June – 3 July) is the pinnacle event in the 2011 international hockey calendar and the 13 home test series against Korea, Japan and Argentina this year, have given Hager the chance to trial and select the best players. “We have had some strong test series over the last few months, but the level of competition at Champions Trophy will be world class and if we want to place in the top six, we need to be playing at our very best,” says Hager. Sophie Devine, Cathryn Finlayson, Alana Millington, Sally Rutherford and Anna Thorpe – who have not played at a Champions Trophy before – will join the team alongside highly capped players Emily Naylor, Kayla Sharland, Krystal Forgesson and Clarissa Eshuis. “The training and competition over the last few months has been pretty intense, and we need to keep training hard over the next couple of months to make sure we get the results we want. The motivation and drive from the team to perform is evident,” says co-captain Kayla Sharland. The Black Sticks have been named in Pool B alongside the Netherlands, Germany and Australia. Pool A includes Argentina, China, England and Korea. “If we can pull off two wins in the pool round, then that could possibly place us in the top four teams in the tournament.
