CPL Men - CLICK HERE for the team.   Back for his third year in charge, Keryn Ambler is joined in the dugout by club stalwart Dean Munt, the former premier player and Div 1 coach who takes on the assistant coach role.  
George Pierce and Ollie King are both graduates from the Div 1 side, while Jakob Ambrose will be the sole club debutant after relocating from Auckland.
Ritchie Legge has once again kept his wife at bay as his managerial role is secure for another season.

CPL Women - CLICK HERE for the team. At the helm for the very first time is Andrew Hastie, who brings considerable experience at international and NHL level, as well as a club pathway that has included the Platinum Girls and Div 1 Women in recent years.

The team sees the inclusion of Olivia Dyer and youngster Holly Gilray from last years Div 1 team, while Napier gal Sophie Nation makes the move South to join cousin Kirsty in the side.  It’s a new era for the side, but the Reindeer hold onto a strong base of players who have helped the team regularly challenge for the CPL title.

And how can we not mention the magnificent manager Jane Jenkins, back for another year to keep the girls on the straight and narrow!

The teams will begin their season with a couple of Porritt Cup fixtures in April before the CPL competition commences after Easter.
