2021 Rep Teams: Save the Dates

CIHA 2021 REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS - SAVE THE DATES

As unfortunate as the COVID situation was in 2020, it provided an opportunity to try different representative team playing formats, which focused on high-quality competitions at a lower cost to players. Some of these successful initiatives are carrying over into 2021.

While the playing schedule for the NZIHL (Red Devils) will resume largely as it was pre-COVID, the national league games for Under-15s, Under-18s, and NZWIHL (Devilettes) are expected to be held over two weekends per league in Dunedin.

2021 will also see the resumption of a national Under-9/Under-12 weekend, so our young players can experience the fun of meeting and playing against kids from other regions. 

And finally, after a hiatus, Canterbury will field a Junior League team (Under-21) that will compete over two weekends against teams from other regions.

Requests for expressions of interest for representative team coaches and managers will be posted soon.
