Dave Kosoof North Harbour Hockey's High Performance Manager said "it's been fantastic to lock in 2 high quality international guests early in the programme. We worked hard to secure Rob and Steph earlier in the year so we are excited that they will be with us shortly and that they will also be able to spend some time training with the times prior to the NHL tournament starting. Having played against Rob on the international stage, i know he will add a huge amount to our NHL group on and off the field. We also received really positive feedback on Steph and watched footage of her in action so again we are extremely pleased to have both with us".
