Following ongoing discussions between Hockey New Zealand and its 32 member associations, a joint and unanimous decision has been made to cancel all National Tournaments for the 2020 hockey season.

Their focus needs to be on enabling people to participate in their local programmes and competitions, and Hockey New Zealand fully supports this position.” read the full story here
