Oh no, it’s time for that terrible ‘t’ word again: trials!  Fear not, my friends, because trials at UC hockey are not as soul destroying as you might think, and in any case they’re over a month away, so you still have plenty of time to don those running shoes and dust off that sad, abandoned hockey stick for some sneaky pre-trial training… or not.  Anyway, enough of that silliness; you’re not after advice or counselling, but dates, times and other useful information, so here it is:

Tuesday, 28th February, 7.00-9.30pm at Marist Park (St Bede’s School):  Premier Men’s Trials begin

Wednesday, 29th February/1st March: Premier Men’s fitness test – details to be confirmed at previous turf trial

Saturday, 3rd March, 9.30am-4pm at Nunweek Park: Full Club Trials Day – specific times below

• 9.30am-11am: Division 1 Men
• 10.40am-12.30pm: Premier Men
• 1pm-1.30pm: New Social Men
• 1.30pm-2.30pm: All Social Men
• 2.30pm-3pm: New Women
• 3pm-4pm: All Women

Saturday, 3rd March, 7pm-late: President’s Shout, Post Trials Party!!!!!  More Information Below.

• The ‘President’s Shout’ BBQ will be held again this year featuring free drinks, music and good times, all paid for by the President (generous, affluent chap that he is). Get your free ticket at trials day (Sat. 3rd March), then come along that very same evening  for a few drinks, some food and a chance to get to know (then promptly forget!) the club. Last year’s event was mint – more details to follow but keep your calendar free!

Well, that’s all the information we have for you at the moment.  For any further details email rtw22@uclive.ac.nz, or better yet, find our stall at the Uni’s Clubs’ Day and talk to us in person.  You can’t miss us; we’re very attractive!

Cheers

UC Hockey is proud to announce the recent appointment of Canterbury lad, Liam Koorey, as varsity’s new Premier Men’s Coach.  Liam’s youth, enthusiasm, and wealth of recent playing and coaching experience in NZ, Australia, and Europe made him the ideal coaching candidate for our young, fit and vibrant prem team.  As such, UC was delighted to discover Liam’s mutual interest, and only too happy to sign him on for the next two seasons.  With Liam as Head Coach, Martin Single continuing his caretaking role as Manager, and the support provided by the UC Rec Centre (not to mention the number of talented players entering or coming back into the side), 2012 is promising to be UC’s best and most exciting season for some time.  We can hardly wait!
