The UCSA hosts an awards ceremony to recognise clubs that have excelled during the year. The UC Hockey Club hopes to win a few awards in 2011! For more info, contact the UCSA.

The club hosts a dinner at the end of each year for all club members to recognise club members who have excelled during the year. Keep your calendar free the night of September 24!

Since 1914 the University of Canterbury Students’ Association has been recognizing and awarding students who excel in their chosen sport. Boxing, Tennis, Rugby, Mountain Biking, Lifesaving, Hockey, Netball, Triathlon, Volleyball, Cycling  and Orienteering are only some of the sports that are eligible for University of Canterbury Blues.  Blues are awarded for achieving a high level of sporting and academic standards and as such are named after the traditional sporting competitions between two original ‘Blues’, Oxford and Cambridge.

The UC Hockey Club often has members represented at these awards and looks forward to congratulating more of our members come the end of 2011. The date and time for the awards was correct at time of writing but may change based on UCSA planning.
