Black Sticks, Kookaburras and Hockeyroos coming to Whangārei
Some of the best hockey players in the Southern Hemisphere will face off in Whangārei this August for a place in the 2024 Paris Olympics. 🏑
Our Venues and Events team have been working with Hockey Northland and secured hosting rights for Oceania Cup matches: both the mens' and womens' Vantage Black Sticks vs Australia's Kookaburras Men and Hockeyroos Women.
And there's a special prize for the winning teams: they will qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics! Can the Vantage Black Sticks Women defend their 2019 championship?
Our Venues and Events Manager Bea Mossop says:
"The Vantage Black Sticks Men and Women teams will be out and
about in the community during the week, visiting schools and offering things like Skills Sessions to young players."
These matches will be held on Thursday 10, Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 August at the ITM Hockey Centre in Kensington.
