What Is Hockey New Zealand and What Can You Find on hockeynz.co.nz?
Updated
Hockey New Zealand is the national organisation for hockey in New Zealand, and hockeynz.co.nz is its official website. Visitors can use the site to catch up on national hockey news, find pathways for playing, coaching and officiating, and sign up for email updates. It is most useful if you want a single starting point for the sport in New Zealand rather than a deep archive of historical records.
Who the site is for
The homepage points to four broad audiences, each with its own entry point:
- Players – "Play Hockey" is the route for people looking to get involved or find playing information.
- Coaches – "Coach Hockey" covers coaching-related resources.
- Officials – "Officiate Hockey" is aimed at umpires and other match officials.
- Fans and followers – the news section and newsletter serve anyone tracking the national game.
What you can find on the homepage
Latest news
The site's main content stream is a dated news feed. Recent items shown on the homepage include:

A "More News" link suggests the feed continues beyond what is shown on the homepage. The mix is a useful signal of what the site covers: community growth stories, national team fixtures, officiating appointments, domestic championships and milestone features.
Newsletter sign-up
The "Join the Huddle" block lets you subscribe with an email address to receive news and updates. The form states that privacy is respected, and a confirmation message appears after signing up. This is the simplest way to get updates pushed to you rather than checking the news feed.
Contact details
The site lists a physical location and two email routes:
- Location: National Hockey Centre, 159 Bush Road, Rosedale, Auckland 0632
- Support: [email protected]
- Media inquiries: [email protected]
Use the support address for general or account-type questions and the media address for press-related requests.
How to get what you need
- For news: start on the homepage news feed and follow "More News" for older items.
- For getting involved: choose Play, Coach or Officiate Hockey depending on your role.
- For regular updates: enter your email in the Join the Huddle form and submit.
- For direct help: email [email protected], or the media contact for press matters.
One practical note: the newsletter block on the page displays a message saying the form needs a storage option configured. If the sign-up does not confirm properly when you try it, use the support email as a fallback.
What the site is not
The homepage evidence does not show ticketing, membership pricing or a searchable fixture database. If you need match tickets or detailed schedules, treat the news stories as pointers and confirm details through the contact addresses rather than assuming the homepage is a complete events portal.
