Reddos Club of the Year Awards Finalist at Hockey New Zealand Awards 
Carlton Redcliffs have been selected as a finalist for the Hockey New Zealand Annual Awards for the Club of the Year Award.  Club nominees for this award are recognised and celebrated as clubs who demonstrate good practice and have achieved excellent standards across a number of key areas and who are strongly aligned to the Hockey NZ Values: Hockey Whanau, Enjoyment, Integrity, Strive for Excellence, and Inclusivity across all areas from junior to adults.  

Sportlomo email - Canterbury Hockey Association (CHA) database
In 2020 CHA bought a new database to record all the players who play in the Canterbury Hockey Association.  All Reddos club members need to be recorded as CHA members.  In 2021 we added our members to the CHA database which is used to record teams, team members, and eventually will be used for game match cards and transfers.  You may have received a "Carlton Redcliffs Member Registration" Sportlomo email from joe.mcdonnell@sportlomo.com, Sportlomo Ireland. Click here to see an example email.

Junior Hockey News:
With the end of term one fast approaching, we are excited to get our junior pre-season events ready as we prepare for the 2021 hockey season.   Kicking off next week, we have our year 5/&  team allocations and 7/8 trials on Tuesday 23rd and Monday 29th March at Nunweek Park.

We also have the first of our series of Junior Skills Clinics on Sunday 28 March at Nga Puna Wai. The session will be a great way for players to dust off the hockey sticks, and will focus on some fundamental ball carrying skills. This session is also a great introduction to hockey for those who are new to the game, who would like to have a go prior to the season starting.  Registrations, and further information for both of these events can be found on our websites events page.

Junior uniform update -Finally, we would like to announce some exciting news. Following a successful grants application our committee have been able to fund playing t-shirts for all of our junior teams this year.  These will be hot off the press in late March, and will feature our new playing strip. We are very excited to be able to provide these for our junior teams, and to have our entire club wearing the same uniform, adding to our sense of club spirit and pride.

Stay tuned for contact from coaches in the coming weeks for team and training information.  The Reddos Junior Committee, Sarah, Miranda and Lisa.

2021 Subs - Click here for sub details

We realise that for those who are perhaps playing both club and school hockey that this represents a significant financial outlay. If this is likely to cause significant difficulties or perhaps a decision to no longer play for our club please get in touch .

If you think you are able to help with a one off job (like uniform distribution) then please let us know.
