KAYLA WHITELOCK & EMILY GADDUM RETIRE

27 2016 saw the end of an era when local Manawatu players Kayla Whitelock and Emily Gaddum retired from International Hockey.

Kayla Whitelock confirmed plans to retire from International hockey with the time seemingly right to focus on the next step in her life.

Kayla Whitelock [nee Sharland] made her New Zealand debut in 2003 and over a career spanning 13 years, played 255 tests and scored 63 goals. She was part of four Olympic campaigns (Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016), three ( 2006, Delhi 2010 where the team won the silver medal and Glasgow 2014 which produced a bronze), along with two World Cups in 2010 and 2014.

Kayla has honoured Hockey Manawatu by accepting a role as Hockey Ambassador for our region and we look forward to working with Kayla in the development and progress of hockey.

The most capped Black Sticks Women’s player of all time Emily Gaddum decided to hang up the black singlet for a more settled lifestyle with the arrival of her first child.

The 30-year-old midfielder/defender made her debut in 2004 and has amassed an unrivalled 274 caps for New Zealand. Over 12 years she competed at three Olympic Games (Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012) and three Commonwealth Games (Melbourne 2006, Delhi 2010 where the team won the silver medal and Glasgow 2012 which saw a bronze medal finish).

Hockey Manawatu has been lucky to have Emily join our Holiday hockey programmes and assist the many budding young players within our region, it has been fantastic that Emily was able to support us with these wonderful events.
