Youth Boys Hockey - get trained by one of the best

Sarah from Remuera

Auckland University Hockey Club is holding their trials for Youth Boys (Y9-12, max 16yrs) this Thursday & next with trainings starting the following week.

Bring your lad along for exceptional coaching and arguably better opportunities than bigger clubs (IMHO of course!). The club is small and very friendly 😁. And from next year, we'll have our own home turf (FINALLY!!) at Colin Maiden.

We are excited to announce Kervin Guttenbeil as Head Coach of the AUHC Youth Boys for 2025!

Kervin joins us with an impressive coaching background, having led the Saint Kentigern College 1st XI Boys for the past two seasons and continuing in this role for 2025. His experience developing young athletes makes him a valuable asset to the Auckland University Hockey Club youth program.

Kervin is also a key player in the Auckland University Men’s Premier side since 2021 and was a member of the Auckland Men’s team at the 2024 National Hockey Championship (NHC). He will be joined by Josh Child as Assistant Coach.

Trial Dates:
📅 Thursday, 20th March – 7:00-8:00pm
📅 Thursday, 27th March – 7:00-8:00pm
📍 Both trials will be held at Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga.

Come down to showcase your skills, meet new teammates, and secure your spot for the season! Please ensure you register for the trials using the link below:

If you have any questions, feel free to flick us a message or email youth@auhc.org!

See you there!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
