Brisbane Blaze head to Darwin take on the SRA Territory Stingers
Published Fri 04 Aug 2023
Brisbane Blaze is excited to announce a pre-Hockey One Season trip to Darwin, NT to take on the SRA Territory Stingers in their 'Festival of Hockey'.
Both the Men's and Women's teams will match up for a double header weekend with games on Friday and Sunday evenings, in what will be an exciting weekend of hockey!
"This pre-season trip gives our teams vital experience in the lead up to the Hockey One League, in particular the athletes that have not yet been involved at hockey at this level," said Hockey Queensland High Performance Manager Lee Bodimeade.
"The 'Festival of Hockey' is a unique and timely opportunity for our local stars to shine on the national stage at home, something that is currently only achieved by moving interstate and playing for other states. For the last 2 years a significant amount of work has been put in place to explore and setup a potential return to the league for the Stingers. Having the Stingers play in front of a home crowd in Darwin is seen as a key step in that journey," said Jason Butcher, Hockey NT CEO.
