The 2025 Open Grade Competition came to an exciting close last weekend, with outstanding finals played across all grades. Many matches were decided by penalty shootouts, and plenty of close results highlighted just how competitive the season has been.

The atmosphere at NHS this weekend was electric, with crowds filling the sidelines and creating a fantastic environment for the players. The support from clubs, families, and friends made the weekend a true celebration of community hockey.
