Tauranga Hockey

Congratulations to all players selected in the Tauranga Hockey Association teams that will be heading to Wellington for the 2026 National Hockey Championship, taking place from 13-19 September.

A special welcome back goes to Amy Robinson, who returns to Tauranga colours for the first time in over 12 years. The 77-cap Black Stick brings a wealth of experience to the squad, and we are excited to see her back representing her home association.

If you can't make it to Wellington, you can follow all the action live on Hockey NZ TV throughout the championship.

Good luck to all players, coaches, managers and support staff.
