So much has happened this year that the time has shot by. My learning curve has been steep but, being the chairperson of such a great board has certainly helped “ease” me into the job. Your “behind the scenes” NT hockey team – i.e. the board and the office, have achieved some great things this year. We started the year in a less than desirable position financially and in my first month as President, found myself sitting in a meeting with the Sports Minister asking for financial help, so dire was our position. Thankfully, it only took the restructuring of one of our substantial NT Government grants to enable us to commence the year solvent and I am happy to report that we will not require such a meeting to start 2011. Whilst we are now in a better position than at the start of 2010, we have much more work to do. With proper governance and excellence in our financial practices however, NT hockey will return to being a financially sound institution. It is my intention that this happens sooner rather than later. The fully audited financial report that accompanies this document, gives us a great base on which to build future success. We have attracted some fantastic sponsors this year and to all of them, large and small, I would like to say a sincere thank you. Your support has enabled us to begin to provide the NT hockey community with the services that our sport and our patrons require. In today’s financial climate, sponsor support is crucial to the success of any amateur sporting group. Thank you again. To those of you reading this report, please support our sponsors; use their products, stay in their accommodation, eat their food, drink their beverages. They really do deserve your support for the great support they provide us. On the field, NT hockey has enjoyed many successes this year. Going straight to the top, how fantastic was the news that Des Abbott has been named in the world team for 2011 after superb performances for Australia in the Champions Trophy, Commonwealth Games and the pinnacle: The World Cup. This is unprecedented for an NT hockey player and an unbelievable achievement. Joel Carroll’s inclusion in the Australian team for the Champions Trophy and Commonwealth Games, puts him right alongside Des as one of the greats of NT hockey. Heather Langham’s inclusion in the senior Australian team over the past two years culminated in her winning the NT Junior Sportsperson of the year at the 2010 NT Sports Awards. I am confident we will see a lot more of Heather in the Green and Gold in years to come. I’m sure all who have gone before them are very proud to be able to say that they know these great Territory hockey ambassadors. We enjoyed mixed success in national championships this year but there were some remarkable performances amongst the teams that show that the Territory isn’t just there to make up numbers. I believe that a winning belief is the biggest thing that is required for NT hockey to challenge for greater Hockey NT - 2010 Annual Report Page 11 honours. One only has to attend junior hockey to see that we have the talent. Our opportunity now lies with developing coaches, umpires and other officials to ensure that we have all the right ingredients to succeed further.
