    Highlights: Dear Members and Clubs,

    What a weekend in both Hamilton and New Plymouth for the Kings Birthday Tournament!

    The Junior event was held in Hamilton with a number of hard-fought games and finals from our younger members. The Senior grades had a packed weekend in New Plymouth with amazing hockey being played over long days with some games finishing in the early hours of the next day!

    Our teams heading to NARCh competed ably in a number of games playing in the division above their own but more importantly continued their vital last-minute preparation before departing.

    Our thanks again to the Devils and Ravens committees for holding such amazing tournaments for our people.
