Attention all junior hockey players
North West Lightning are offering a great opportunity for junior hockey players to lift their game to another level, make new friends and enjoy competitive hockey on synthetic turf.
Players from Hockey Central Vic, Goulburn Valley Hockey Association, North Central Hockey Association, Wimmera Hockey Association and Sunraysia Hockey Association are invited to nominate for the North West Lightning Under 16 Shield teams. In 2021 there will be separate male and female competitions.
The Under 16 Shield competition is a 14-week competition run by Hockey Victoria and is played on a Friday evening in Bendigo or Melbourne, starting on the 30th April. We have entered an Under 16 boys’ team and an Under 16 girls’ team and are seeking expressions of interest from eligible players born in 2005 and later.
Ross Evans and Dale Boyd have been appointed coaches of the boys’ and girls’ teams respectively and interested players are invited to attend training sessions on a Tuesday evening at the Bendigo hockey pitch from 6.00 – 7.30pm.
Trials will occur on Sunday 28th February from 12.30pm – 2.00pm and Tuesday 2nd March from 6.00pm – 7.30pm, with official training beginning on Tuesday 9th March from 6.00pm – 7.30pm once the teams have been selected. Development players may be added to the squad where requested by the coach.
If your child is interested, please click on the NOMINATE icon above and follow the prompts.
If you have any questions or concerns with any of the above information, training, trials, team selection or anything else related to the 2021 season, please don’t hesitate to contact me on 0428314219 or email nwlhc.junior@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you at the hockey pitch.
