We also aim to make hockey the ‘game for everyone’ - a sport that is accessible and enjoyable for male and female Australians of all ages and backgrounds. Achieving this vision will require the collective efforts of the Australian hockey community. This community includes the leading administrative bodies - Hockey Australia and the State Hockey Associations - and the many thousands of volunteers within regional associations, hockey clubs and schools throughout the country. It encompasses hockey players and coaches, from our national teams through to beginners and club players. All members of the community have a part to play. MISSION “To encourage, promote, develop and administer hockey at all levels in order to maintain Australian hockey as a world leader and a game for everyone. This will be done through managing Australia’s international high performance program and maximising participation, enjoyment and community profile.” FORmaTION Hockey Australia formed in November 2000 following the amalgamation of the Australian Hockey Association and Women’s Hockey Australia and is a full member of the International Hockey Federation (FIH). It comprises membership of all eight States and Territories. Each State Association is comprised of regional associations, which are in turn made up of clubs. In some States, clubs affiliate directly with the State body. Hockey Australia exists to provide Australians with the opportunity to play hockey from junior levels through to elite competition, including the Olympic Games. It is responsible for delivering these benefits to Australian hockey players through its Member States and ensuring hockey in Australia achieves consistent success, a strong and positive public profile and continuing player and spectator support at all levels.

T As our sports system has diversified and increased in complexity over the years, so too has the nature of these relationships. Now, as ever, a critical ingredient for our system’s continued success and sustainability is to ensure that we all remain on the same page—that our links between each other, our leading programs, our roles and relationships are clearly defined and understood by all. Sport operates in a dynamic, demanding and rapidly changing environment. The sources of change include advancing technologies, new structures and systems, products and services, people concerns and rising international competition and benchmarks. The Australian Government has flagged the need to address this change by reforming our sports system and has outlined its approach in the paper Australian Sport: Emerging Challenges, New Directions. The Government has also appointed an independent expert panel headed by lawyer David Crawford to investigate ways to ensure both high performance and community level sport is prepared for those challenges. The Australian Sports Commission has already taken steps to review and evaluate our strategic position and intent in active consultation with national sporting organisations and other stakeholders. These system improvements will provide a foundation for any changes emerging from the Government process. Already we have identified a number of priorities.T hese include: the need to better align our high performance sport efforts with our partners; to work more collaboratively with state departments of sport and recreation in strategic approaches to growing participation in sport; to re-communicate the value of sport to the Australian community; and to retain and develop our best coaches. Our efforts to act on these priorities are inherently intertwined with our partners. These partnerships represent a powerful tool in our ability to adapt to a changing environment, to share responsibilities, effectively communicate and continue to expand and strengthen sport. Our work together will ensure that the Australian sports system is progressive, robust and sustainable for decades to come.

    MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2015 SPORTS Hamilton wins Chinese GP Rosberg accuses teammate of selfish driving SHANGHAI: Lewis Hamilton shrugged off accu- sations of selfish driving from beaten team mate Nico Rosberg yesterday after the Formula One world champion led Mercedes to a Chinese Grand Prix one-two finish. If the race ended in anti-climax, with the safety car deployed for the last two laps, the sparks flew afterwards when a seething Rosberg said Hamilton had compro- mised his race by driving too slow. The flare up of tensions between the two, so evident last year, sent Mercedes bosses into fire-fighting mode when they might have hoped to have cel- ebrated reasserting their dominance over Ferrari. The team’s non-executive chairman and former triple champion Niki Lauda made clear whose side he was on. “Sure, everyone drives selfish,” commented the Austrian. “What do you think these guys are here to do?

April 2006 zeit hockeyDIE NEWS Triumph beim 4-Nationen-Turnier in Mönchengladbach Europapokal: Deutsche Teams ver- passen Titelchancen 4-NATIONEN-TURNIER IN MÖNCHENGLADBACH WM-Stadion mit Triumph eröffnet und 11.500 Zuschauer besuchten das Vier-Nationen-Turnier zur Eröffnung des Warsteiner HockeyParks in RMönchengladbach und gaben der Generalprobe für die BDO Weltmeisterschaft, die vom 6. bis 17. September an gleicher Stelle stattfinden wird, einen würdigen Rahmen. Weltmeister Deutschland zeigte sich auch ohne meh- rere beim Europacup der Pokalsieger im Einsatz befindlichen Stammkräfte, wie Tibor Weißenborn, Sebastian Bieder- lack und Philipp Zeller, in einer bemerkenswerten Frühform. Das WM-Stadion wurde für die Peters-Schützlinge beim Premierenturnier zur Festung. Drei Siege, bei nur einem Gegentor, reichten zu einem beeindruckenden Er- folg. Besonders wichtig dabei, nach drei Niederlagen in Folge, war der Erfolg über Europameister Spanien. Bundes- trainer Bernhard Peters flog gleich im Anschluss nach China, um beim Qualifikationsturnier zur WM die letzten fünf Teilnehmer unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Für DHB-Präsident Stephan Abel war die dreitägige Veranstaltung in wichtiger Meilenstein: „Wir haben uns auf die Eröffnung dieses Stadions seit Jahren gefreut. Jetzt ist es endlich eingeweiht. Wenn man erlebt hat, welche Stimmung hier jetzt schon auf den Rängen war, dann kann man erah- nen, wie die Atmosphäre im September bei der WM sein wird. Natürlich lief noch nicht alles rund. Es gab sicher einige Dinge, an denen wir noch besser werden müssen und werden, aber genau um diese Erkenntnisse zu be- kommen, war dieses Turnier ja auch so wichtig.” (Mehr zur Eröffnung des Warsteiner HockeyParks und zum Vier- Nationen-Turnier lesen Sie im hockeyzeit-Magazin Nr.5, das in den nächsten Tagen erscheint.

  • Black Sticks Named for Oceania Olympic Qualifier in Hobart
    21 September, 2011 Media release Black Sticks named for Oceania Olympic Qualifier in Hobart The Black Sticks national coaches have named their teams for the 2011 Oceania Olympic Qualifier to be played in Hobart from 6-9 October, 2011. The Oceania region has two Olympic allocations courtesy of world rankings for both men and women and with Fiji having pulled out it gives Australia and New Zealand automatic qualification to the London Olympics. The qualifier will now be a three test series between the two rival teams. The national coaches say the qualifier will be more about getting further test experience against Australia and gaining valuable world ranking points. Black Sticks Women’s coach Mark Hager has named an experienced team, selecting the same 18 players who beat Australia in pool play and went on to win bronze at the 2011 Champions Trophy in July in Amsterdam. “This will be a hard fought series against a top team - there is so much rivalry between these two sides. With us ranked sixth and Australia ranked seventh, we will need to win the series in order to hold our position,” says Hager. Black Sticks Men’s coach Shane McLeod has chosen a very experienced men’s team with players like Phil Burrows, Blair Hopping and Dean Couzins – all who rack up a total 730 test caps. This will be the opportunity to take on world champions Australia, which will be invaluable in their build up to the Champions Trophy being held at North Harbour in early December. “This Olympic qualifier forms a key component of our preparation towards Champions Trophy and will allow us to test our game against a world champion, gold medal team.

  • GDHC Red Rag May 2016
    MAY, 2016 GLEBE DISTRICT HOCKEY CLUB THE RED RAG A Champion Club, A Club of Champions President Report I reported last year in our August Red Rag, the following: “As reported in the April Red Rag, the club has been asked to look at our current management structures/constitution. I advised then that the process was underway and I can confirm that this is still the case. We should be able to review the changes for recommendation at the final management committee meeting of the year in October, to then have as an agenda item on this year’s AGM (December). I look forward to getting this across the line.” Well, a few things got in the way of that process, but we are now working towards definitely restructuring the club’s management for consideration at this year’s AGM. There will be no real change to the operations of the club in terms of the management positions in place, rather, the primary change is the reduction in the numbers of the people that make up the management committee. At present, the club’s constitution allows for 13 people on the management committee – we will be looking to reduce that number to around 6 or 7 for better efficiencies, with those moving off the management committee, in general terms, simply reporting in to the new committee members. This is in line with other clubs and other sporting bodies and will enable our committee at its meetings to look at more significant issues rather than many of the day to day operational issues of the club which occurs now.
