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!

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
