VANTAGE BLACK STICKS WOMEN’S USA TEST SERIES SQUAD ANNOUNCED

Following a successful Premier Hockey League (PHL) season, where selectors had the opportunity to evaluate six weeks of consistent hockey, Hockey New Zealand are pleased to announce its Vantage Black Sticks Women’s USA Test Series squad ahead of the upcoming games against the USA in January 2025. The squad will play in a series of four matches, including two test matches plus two practice matches, scheduled to take place in Auckland in January. The two test matches are set for 17th January at 5:30pm and 19th January at 3:00pm.  
 

This series serves as a crucial preparatory phase ahead of the Nations Cup in Chile in February, as the team builds towards World Cup qualification against Australia in August 2025.

The players have demonstrated exceptional talent and dedication throughout the Premier Hockey League season, and we believe this group has the potential to achieve great success.”
