North Harbour Hockey

Two Days to Go! The countdown is on and we can’t wait to welcome our international visitors to experience the energy and passion that Harbour brings. To top it all off, we’ve unveiled a brand new entrance making a bold statement. Get ready for big moments, fierce competition, and unforgettable memories. Let the games begin!

We’re on the countdown to Nations Cup. It’s such a massive stage, and having such great talent representing Harbour is something to be proud of.

A huge shoutout to all the Harbour players:
Casey Crowley, Ella Hyatt Brown, Holly Pearson, Paige Blake, James Hickson, Isaac Houlbrooke, and Ryan Parr.
Every pass, every play, every moment matters, this is where it all comes together.
Let’s bring the energy, cheer them on loud, and show our support all the way!

To our North Harbour Hockey community,

I wish to give you a heads up that there may be some media coverage in the next few days about the behaviour of two former staff members of North Harbour Hockey.

I want to reassure you that our Chief Executive Michelle Bentham and Board Chair Dave Kosoof have managed these issues appropriately, taking immediate action when serious concerns were raised.

Below is the statement we are providing to media.

If you have any questions or receive any enquiries from the media, please send them on to Michelle.

We appreciate your support to ensure the ongoing safety of our players, coaches and administrators.

Regards,

Brent Miller KSM - Hockey NZ, North Harbour Hockey and Takapuna Life Member and current North Harbour Hockey Board Member

Yet again, another fantastic Intercity Premier 1 season has come and gone. We were thrilled to be able to host the Women’s Final between ABC and Takapuna, which proved to be an epic battle that had the stands packed with Harbour fans.
