COREY WEYER CALLED INTO KOOKABURRAS TEAM FOR AZLAN SHAH CUP

Congratulations to Corey Weyer #3 who has been called into the Kookaburras team heading to Malaysia to replace defender Matt Dawson who has withdrawn with injury.  Corey will join fellow Tigerstix player Dylan Wotherspoon #26 in the team.

Hockey Australian says:

“Weyer is a 21-year-old with eight caps who hails from Biggera Waters on the Gold Coast, having played for Labrador Tigerstix. He was added to the National Senior Men’s Squad for this year after debuting in November.

“Corey has had a good couple of weeks in training following the Netherlands series,” Batch said.  “He’s played in Malaysia before, so he’ll be accustomed to the conditions and challenges that they bring.”

Australia will meet England, Malaysia, India, Ireland and Argentina in the Azlan Shah Cup which runs from March 3-10 with matches televised on Fox Sports.  The 18-man Kookaburras team is due to depart for Malaysia on Sunday morning.

The Azlan Shah Cup will be the Kookaburras’ final tournament before the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast from April 4-15.  The Kookaburras team for the Commonwealth Games will be named in mid-March after the Azlan Shah Cup.”

Make sure you catch the action on Fox Sports!  All the best in Malaysia Corey!

2018 Season Details for Seniors & Graded Juniors Updated

Season training and match information has been updated with the most current information available to us from the training venue at Nikki Hudson Hockey Centre, Runaway Bay and Gold Coast Hockey Association.

Field availability is limited and creates a lot of challenge until we return to Labrador Tigerstix at Gold Coast Hockey Centre on 11 May after the Commonwealth Games organisers have packed up the additional hardware needed for the Commonwealth Games.  However with careful organisation, all juniors and seniors will still have a full season of hockey without the need for midweek games after March.

Like most other activities on the Gold Coast, we appreciate your patience as we all try to do our best to provide hockey for the kids.  Details for Juniors can be viewed on the Juniors 2018 Season Overview page.

Details for Seniors can be viewed on the Seniors 2018 Season Overview page.
