WIHA Mid Year Announcement • 26.06.2021
It has been an extremely busy start to the year for Wellington Ice Hockey. From opportunities for adult and youth beginners to get on the ice, to learning the ins and outs of the game as members of the Bear Division, through to playing faster paced hockey in the Fours Division and the growth of Women’s hockey, it is so inspiring to see all the hard work of so many individuals to build the breadth of our hockey community. It brings a smile to my face just thinking of everyone enjoying the great game of Ice Hockey. With our current season wrapping up at the end of June, it’s time to start looking ahead at what's in store for the rest of the year.
