A huge congratulations to our Wellington players who have been selected to represent New Zealand at the 2025 Trans-Tasman Masters Challenge, taking place from 13–17 May in sunny Cairns, Queensland!
It’s an incredible achievement to wear the black shirt, and we’re proud to see Wellington so well represented within the NZ Masters teams. This tournament brings together the best of Masters hockey from both sides of the Tasman, with plenty of fierce rivalries, friendships, and top-quality hockey on show.
To be selected is a significant achievement, and we commend each of our players for their dedication, commitment, and love for hockey as they prepare for the tournament.
If you’re keen to follow the action, all matches will be live-streamed on LiveHockey.com.au.
We wish all players the very best for a successful tournament!
