IHNZ News Event Information

New Zealand National Championships are now just 8 days away.
The following information was shared earlier this week.

The game schedule has been updated after the withdrawal of one team. The new version (#4) was released in the “Around the Boards” communication today.

Please find a PDF for your convenience here.

Rosters are now all in hand, thank you

• the rosters will now be loaded to Esportsdesk in preparation for start on Saturday Sept 28th
• Please check information coming out over the next few days in relation to checking rosters off before your first game.
• A reminder that all roster members MUST be registered with a club on the esportdesk database. This includes all officials.

 Banners and Trophies:

• All clubs are asked to please return the IHNZ trophies on the weekend of Saturday 28 – Sunday 29 September to the tournament office in New Plymouth
• You are invited to bring your club banners to be hung at the rink for the duration of the event. The plan is to have them hung at the back of the rink under the scoreclock.
• Please bring your trophy and club banner to the event office at the rink and we will arrange for any cleaning, engraving and hanging of banners.

 Scorebench and Timekeeping

The spreadsheet will be a “live” document. Initially we would like to have the first few days fully completed.

As the Nationals competition and the week progresses, we would welcome more volunteers to offer their help – a master list will be in the office.

• Please find the sign up link here ( Scorebench Roster) `and indicate your availability for any duties while in New Plymouth
• Please share with your team managers and parents who will be attending Nationals.
• Volunteers will be emailed prior to September 28 as a reminder of scheduling.
• Some “finals” games will be allocated once teams are know.
