Jenny, the organiser at Hawke's Bay Hockey, would like to share a quick update with the sports community. Based in Napier at Park Island, Hawke's Bay Hockey features two top-notch Olympic astro turfs and a stadium. With an enthusiastic team of staff and volunteers, the club is all about providing a great experience for players and promoting hockey in the community.
Jenny and the team place a high value on their people, offering opportunities for development and access to excellent facilities. They also believe in connecting with the wider community and encourage everyone to give hockey a go through various programmes and events.
Partnerships are crucial to Hawke's Bay Hockey. Jenny and crew work closely with sponsors and funders who provide vital support. There are several hockey clubs under the association’s umbrella, each playing a part in the sport's growth in the region.
Events are a big part of the calendar, and you can find all the details on the club’s website. The vision here is clear: Hawke's Bay Hockey aims to foster the continuous growth and development of hockey and its facilities.
The club has a rich history dating back to the late 1800s, with the current association formed in 1977. The 1990s saw a game-changer with the installation of artificial turfs at Park Island.
For those playing in HB Hockey-run competitions, whether in clubs or schools, affiliation with the association is required. It’s all overseen by a board of seven passionate individuals who work hard to keep things running smoothly.
There's a strategic plan in place to establish Hawke's Bay Hockey as a centre of excellence. Sport NZ has even spotlighted them for development in the coming years.
Stay in the loop with the club's mobile app, available on the App Store or Google Play. It’s got all the latest events, images, and alerts straight to your phone.
