HAWKE’S BAY HOCKEY CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

On behalf of the Hawke’s Bay Hockey Association, it gives me great pleasure to welcome to our beautiful region all players, officials and supporters participating in this year’s Federation Cup and Marie Fry Trophy Hockey Tournament.

We are delighted to host this most prestigious tournament and look forward to you enjoying our hockey facilities. The Tournament will be based at the home of Hawke’s Bay Hockey at Park Island in Napier and played on our (two) water turfs, sponsored by Cape Physio and Big Save, and just 10  minutes away, our water turf based at Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Park in Hastings.

Federation Cup and Marie Fry Trophy are the pinnacle for schoolgirl hockey in NZ. The honour of playing for your respective schools with friends and teammates is something I hope you look back on with pride. Only one team can hold the trophy at the end of the week, we look forward to the excitement of that outcome and hope and wish for you that regardless of results every everybody enjoys the week.

There will be down time between trainings and games of course, we encourage you to use some of that time to enjoy the many wonderful attractions and tourist destinations that Hawke’s Bay has to offer.

On behalf of HBHA board thank you to our fantastic team running the tournament and for the huge amount of work they done in preparation for our guests arriving.

Good luck to all participants, we look forward to a fantastic week of hockey played in a competitive, fair spirit that leaves you all with great memories from your time here in Hawke’s Bay.
