PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:
Last weekend saw some brilliant weather for the Canberra June Long Weekend Hockey Carnival. We had a heap of players representing the Club which is fantastic and I hope they all enjoyed the challenge of playing against other clubs from Sydney and other regional areas of NSW.
This weekend we have the first of two Hin2H carnivals, this one at Nicholls. These carnivals are a great opportunity to play against other Clubs in a more game oriented morning, and with no Hin2H at Willows this Saturday, why not make the trip a little further north for what is always a fun-filled morning.
With just 2 more rounds prior to the school holidays, we have a few fundraising activities coming up. This month we are being supported by Grill’d and this Saturday we are running the BBQ at Willows. Please pop down and support both activities – every little bit helps.
Good luck to all this weekend.

CLUB 
ROSTER 2017
Members, as most of you are aware, the Club is involved in running lucrative BBQs over at the Willows grounds throughout the outdoor season. Below is the Age group roster.
It is imperative that you strongly consider putting your hand up to assist. Those who always assist and others who haven’t had the chance previously! The BBq runs out at Willows playing fields (ANU just off Barry Drive) Saturday mornings from 8-12:30pm. Four adults are required to be a the BBQ cooking, taking money, serving & support. No child under the age of 10 should be behind the bbq area and children U15 should not be cooking, they can WORK WITH an adult and take orders/money. A Committee member will set you up with everything you need and be around to support you if in need. Please be in contact with your team manager ASAP and organise the time in which you are offering to assist.
Managers, you need to manage the list of volunteers and be in contact with with either Tamara Linehan or Tracey Burgess as to your progress.
Round 7 – 17 June – U11s and U18s
Round 11 –5 August – U15 girls
Round 15 – 2 September – U13 and U15 Boys.
Remember, your club fees and other considerations rely on the BBQ’s and we would really like to see as many as possible offering support. It’s easier than selling chocolates!!
FUNdraising!!
Uni Juniors Hockey Club have been selected to participate in Local Matters at Grill’d – Canberra Centre this June!
“Local Matters” is the Grill’d community donation program that sees each Grill’d restaurant donate $500 back into the community every month. The donation is split between 3 local community groups $300 / $100 / $100.
HOW YOU CAN HELP?
We’d love your support in receiving the highest $300 donation! Simply head to Grill’d – Canberra Centre during June for a burger and pop your Local Matters token in our jar. The group with the most tokens at the end of the month receives the largest donation. It’s a simple (and delicious) way to show your support!
You’ll find our club name on a jar at Grill’d – Canberra Centre. A HUGE thank you to Tamara Linehan for organising this important FUNdraiser.

#National Hockey Week, June 17-25 2017
Hockey Australia is running two social media campaigns over the course of the week, and it would be great to see as many clubs participate in them as possible.
- #100YardChallenge – This contest Hockey Australia will conduct on social media. Clubs, hockey players, or anyone can participate and to do so upload a photo/video on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Youtube with the hashtag #100YardChallenge. The objective is to get a hockey ball from one end of the pitch into the goal at the other end. This can be done by hitting the ball once or multiple times, with one of multiple players. Fastest time wins. The video must be a one-shot style video (video created without any edits and in one single take). Special consolation prize for most creative entry.
Uni Juniors players, we need to put our heads together and come up with a plan of attack!! Have a chat amongst your team mates and chat with your Coach/Manager. When an idea is presented and everyone is keen to participate, please send your idea (email subject reference: Team, Division – #100 Yard Challenge) to Communications@unijuniorshockey.com.au or Webmanager@unijuniorshockey.com.au so we can collate ideas and construct a plan!!
- The Pride of Hockey – Hockey Australia will launch a social media campaign for you to nominate a person who you think is ‘The Pride of Hockey’ because of the good work they’ve done in hockey, for hockey, or to promote hockey in any way. Hockey ACT will be looking to nominate several people for the Pride of Hockey, so if you can start thinking about people involved with your club, or people who have been involved with your club who have contributed to hockey please let me know.

Coaching Qualifications – Level 1 Course
For all our non-qualified coaches – The next level 1 coaching course is currently scheduled for Monday the 19th of June 2017 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm at the National Hockey Centre. Please visit the link below to sign up now!
https://goo.gl/forms/MCCqi7ln9Zg4xQEJ2. Any costs associated with the course will be reimbursed by the Club in recognition of your commitment to the Club.
Indoor Competition and Advisory Committee nominations have been opened again due to a lack of interest initially. This is a really good opportunity for any of our members to become involved in the summer indoor season and how we strategically improve our indoor competitions generally. The person does not necessarily have to have board experience, just a passion for the growth of the sport. Please contact Andrew Sutton contact@unijuniorshockey.com.au if you are interested in further information or to apply.
