Summer Hockey
Summer Hockey is all about making the most of the longer evenings. With competitions for primary and secondary school players, families, social teams and senior grades, there's something for everyone—whether you're playing for fun, staying match-fit or enjoying a bit of friendly competition.
Played on warm summer evenings from October - December and February - March, it's a great way to get active, catch up with friends and enjoy the atmosphere, with the bar and café open throughout the season.
