NHL 2017

Wellington September 16-24 

Southern hockey’s newly appointed coaches are looking to reinstall some pride back in the South and are wanting hard-working, committed and dedicated hockey players to join them for this year’s NHL campaign.

The first trial will be combined with Otago Seniors Trials. You can choose whether you would like to trial for Southern NHL, Otago Seniors or be eleigable for both. 

(If you are looking at only trialing for Otago Seniors the link for that registration can be found here: www.oha.org.nz/2017seniors) 

To be eligable for Southern NHL you will need to be one of the following:

Players of the following associations: Otago, Central Otago, Southland & North Otago
Or a Region of Origin player from the above associations. 
*Region of Origin or draft players need to express an interest in playing by emailing Mark (Men) or Tina (Women) by June 1st.

At the conclusion of the 2nd trial a wider training squad (18-24 players) will be chosen to train through until the end of July where the final NHL team (18+1x non-travelling reserve) will be named.

Triallists must attend both trials and undergo fitness testing. If selected for the wider training squad there is an expectation that you commit to the fitness programme, all trainings and games.
