Introduction​​​​​​​

Hockey at Auckland Grammar School holds its own within the myriad of winter sports that are on offer. We continually produce winning teams at all grades and Auckland Representative players at all age groups. The School has been fortunate to have had several New Zealand Representatives including recent players Ryan Archibald ’93, Shay Neal ’04 and Dwayne Rowsell ’05.

With expectations of a competitive nature, there is also the element of enjoyment with social teams as well as serious teams entered into the mid-week competition. The School currently has seven Hockey teams in the local Auckland competition with all grades playing on a Monday or Wednesday.

When he was younger, 2022 captain of the 1st XI Hockey team Max Ready played both Hockey and Rugby, so trying to navigate playing on the field to then playing on the turf was quite a challenge! Max spoke with Committee member Mark Galloway about the strong bond the team has and how that has helped them both on and off the turf this season – view the full interview.
