A huge thank you to all our junior players, parents, and supporters for choosing Northern United Hockey Club for the 2025 winter season!

Our young players worked hard, supported their teammates, and showed incredible commitment week after week. We know how much effort goes on behind the scenes, from all the rides to practices and games, to the early starts and sideline cheers, and we’re so grateful for everything you do to make our club what it is.

☀️ Keep Your Skills Sharp This Summer

The hockey season might be over, but you can still have fun and stay ready for 2026!

Quick off-season ideas:

10–15 minutes, 3× per week: ball carries, push passes against a wall, and forehand/backhand traps (even on grass works fine).
Movement basics: skipping, hops, balance holds, short sprint. Keep it playful and light!

You can also check out more tips and drills at akhockey.org.nz.

📅 What’s Next

We’ll be in touch early next year with 2026 registration details and start-of-season information. Keep an eye on your inbox and our social media for updates.

Thanks again for being part of our Northern United whānau. We can’t wait to see you back on the turf in 2026! 💛🏑🖤
