Hockey Heroes

Hi I'm Jack and I trialled for the Hatch Cup. They ran out of places for me. One week later I trialled for the A Team and got in. I am already a Southland Rep. The A and B teams will be going to the West Coast not Timaru like last year. I have been playing for 8 years. I started when at assembly Mrs Healey asked for a hockey team, I brought a notice home and mum and dad paid the turf fee. When I started getting older I played for Central and got hit in the ankle at a PC [penalty corner], if I was not wearing shin guards I would have broken my ankle. Hi I'm Kya, Jack's friend. I trialled for the Southland U13 Hatch Cup Team, I've got a practice coming up and if I don't do very well I'll get dropped into the A Team which is another type of hockey academy. I've played hockey for about 7 years, I used to play in the old army hall. My injuries, well I've had a black eye, bleeding nose and broken a finger luckily they were minor injuries.

  1. Hockey is such a fast-paced exciting game and it's no surprise that you two lads enjoy it!

  2. You two have made good use of your hockey training in other games we've played lately too. Jack I can see you look keeping yourself 'open' when we're playing Handball, making it easy for your team and Kya, your goalie skills come in handy in Handball too.
