It was a great start to the season for the BWHA girls at LHC’s inaugural BWHA PL 1 game captained by Kendra Fitzpatrick with a narrow loss of 4 – 3 to the University of Queensland HC. It was an incredibly proud day for the Labrador Tiger Stix and we thank BWHA for their assistance in the lead up. We are honoured to have worked towards opening up a pathway for all females playing at LHC and on the Gold Coast. We look forward to continuing to watch great hockey throughout the BWHA season.

To all members,
As you are aware we are in full swing to get season 2025 up and running, there has been a huge amount of work being done behind the scenes this year particularly in the women’s space with the announcement of our inaugural BWHA Labrador Tigerstix Team to play in the Premier League 1 competition in 2025.
The club is pleased to announce that with this comes some very positive additions to our coaching structure.
Brent Livermore will continue as Coaching Director overseeing all programs around coaching and athlete development across the club. Brent will also continue to be Head Coach of the BHL men’s program.
Ryan Hack will be Head Coach of the BWHA women’s program, Ryan brings with him a huge amount of hockey knowledge having formerly coached at an international level in South Africa, Ryan in recent years has been involved as coach of our Div 1 women’s team, taking them to last year’s final. Ryan will also assist Brent, particularly across the clubs developing women’s structure. He will be proactive across all grades and assist coaches from a mentoring perspective throughout the year.
Tinesha Carey will be our Div 1 Women’s coach for 2025, Tinesha is a very well respected coach in both Queensland and Australian hockey programs. Tinesha has been involved in the coaching staff for QLD U16 for the past three years where they have held the National title since 2022. She recently coached the Over 40 Masters Australian women’s team that won the 2024 World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa. Tinesha played for the Division 1 team in 2023, we look forward to having her return and to help continue to build on our past success as a club.
As trials begin next week the club looks forward to seeing everyone getting back into hockey. After a stellar season in 2024 we are excited to see what we can achieve in 2025. As we continue to build our BWHA women’s squad, please stay tuned for future player announcements with details of when and where you can see them play first.
