Where to Find Hockey News and Tournament Schedules on hockeynz.co.nz

Updated

The LATEST NEWS section on the hockeynz.co.nz homepage is the main entry point for current hockey news, and the site describes itself as the home of "the latest updates, tournament schedules, and resources" for hockey in New Zealand. Use the homepage news feed for recent headlines and the MORE NEWS link to go beyond the first few stories; use the site's tournament schedule and resource listings when you need event dates or practical materials rather than news.

What the LATEST NEWS section shows

The homepage presents a dated feed of news items, each with a headline, date, and a "Read more" link. From the page evidence, the feed covers a mix of topics:

Date Headline topic
21 October 2026 Growing the game in Tairua: from 30 to 90 participants in six months
6 October 2026 How one hockey-mad family produced three coaches
14 September 2026 Hockey New Zealand announces India vs Vantage Black Sticks Men series
30 August 2026 More success for Kiwi officials at FIH World Cup
29 August 2026 Kiwi umpire appointed to World Cup Final
12 August 2026 Four New Zealand officials head to the FIH Hockey World Cup
11 August 2026 Masters World Cup continues across Europe
11 August 2026 Ford National Hockey Championship descends on the capital this September
6 August 2026 Celebrating 50 years since New Zealand's Olympic gold
29 July 2026 Gemming calls time on an incredible career in hockey

This tells you what kind of information the feed carries: national team series announcements, domestic championship news, international officiating appointments, community growth stories, and milestone features. If your interest is a specific series or championship, scan the dated headlines first rather than looking for a separate news menu.

How to find more news

  1. Open the homepage and scroll to the LATEST NEWS block.
  2. Read the headlines and dates in the feed.
  3. Select MORE NEWS to see additional stories beyond those displayed.
  4. Open a headline with Read more to view the full item.

Expected result: you land on the full story page for that headline. A common snag is expecting a searchable archive on the homepage itself — the visible feed is a curated selection, so use MORE NEWS to widen your view before concluding a story does not exist.

Finding tournament schedules

The site's own description states it provides tournament schedules alongside news and resources. The homepage feed confirms that schedule-related announcements appear as news items — for example, the India vs Vantage Black Sticks Men series announcement and the Ford National Hockey Championship item. In practice:

  • Check the news feed for announcements of upcoming series and championships, since dates and venues are often published there first.
  • Look for the site's schedule or resources area for the structured calendar, as the homepage feed is chronological news rather than a fixture list.
  • For a specific event, open its news item and follow the details given there.

If a schedule you need is not visible, the site lists a support contact at [email protected], which is the appropriate route for questions about missing or unclear event information.

Other sections worth knowing

Beyond news, the homepage links to participation pathways — PLAY HOCKEY, COACH HOCKEY, and OFFICIATE HOCKEY — and a newsletter signup under JOIN THE HUDDLE, where you enter an email address to receive news and updates. The organisation's location is listed as the National Hockey Centre, 159 Bush Road, Rosedale, Auckland 0632, with media inquiries directed to a separate media contact.
