We hope everyone is excited for the start of Junior Hockey especially after watching some of the fantastic international hockey at Pro League!
The junior draws are now LIVE on PLAYHQ for the junior Hockey season find them here: https://www.playhq.com/hockey-new-zealand/org/canterbury-hockey-association/junior-competitions-winter-2023/5fc093a3
As per previous years the season is broken into 3 blocks - Pre Kings birthday weekend, Kings birthday until term 2 holidays, and then start of term 3 until the end of the season.
The first block of four weeks have the draws published and the second block will be completed the week of Kings birthday. This allows Canterbury Hockey time to re-grade any teams to ensure teams are playing evenly matched competitive games as often as possible - If you feel like your team needs more challenging games or are finding their current games too tough please talk to your coaches who can then speak with your Junior club coordinator/captain to request these changes.
A reminder our Junior non playing dates for junior hockey are 3rd June - Kings Birthday, 8th July - Middle Weekend of school holidays and 15th July Matariki Weekend!
