HKHC : NEWSLETTER #2

Registration

Thanks to everyone who has registered their interest to play in 2018.

We have great numbers for the U18 girls and Ministicks girls, but could always do with some extra players in our other teams. If you know of players who haven’t registered yet or who may be interested, please log on to our website  or message us through our Facebook page.

Junior Preseason Skills

The first session was held at Kaiapoi High School Turf on Sunday morning with a great turnout. It was fantastic to see so many children enthusiastic to play hockey. Come on down to the final two sessions on Sunday 18th and 25th March at 10am. Hockey sticks can be provided, we do ask that children bring a mouthguard, shin pads and sneakers. Free of charge for Yrs1-8.

HKHC v Rangiora

Hinemoa-Kaiapoi Hockey Club and Rangiora Hockey club held their first pre-season match last Saturday. It was a great turn-out from our club, and although our 4 guys were well outnumbered they were much appreciated as we took on a Rangiora team that was mainly men.   Fast and furious with some great skills shown, it was a very even match, with the 2-2 draw a great result.   Nothing like a bar-b-que and beer to finish a fun day of hockey!
