Wellington Hockey is proud to congratulate six of our WHA officials who have been appointed by Hockey New Zealand to officiate at the upcoming Rankin Cup and Fed Cup Secondary School Tournaments.
The tournaments, taking place from 25–30 August, represent the top tier of secondary school hockey in New Zealand. We’re thrilled to see WHA representation at both events, with three officials heading to Auckland for the Rankin Cup, and another three staying in the capital to officiate at the Federation Cup right here in Wellington.
