Hockey Information for boys new to WC


Introduction:

    For the last few years we have fielded 5-6 teams in the WHA secondary boys’ competition, which makes us the biggest boys’ hockey school in Wellington.

    Wellington College is a strong hockey school. It is therefore important that boys coming into WC hockey in Year 9 set their expectations appropriately. It is extremely rare for even the most "talented" in-coming year 9 boy to be placed any higher than the 3rd XI, and it is not uncommon for boys who have played U13 rep teams to be placed in the 4th or 5th XIs.


    What playing hockey for College can offer:

    • Strong coaching from experienced hockey coaches and/or or top players
    • Robust, performance and skills based selection criteria
    • The opportunity to play in home and away traditional fixtures (1st XI & U15s)
    • The chance to attend a tournament during Winter Tournament Week (1st & 2nd XIs)
    • A special 10% discount off all equipment purchased from Just Hockey (show them your student ID card)
