Aquinas College Hockey has a great following with 1st and 2nd XI teams for our secondary students, and 11 and 6-aside teams for our Year 7 and 8 teams.

The 1st XI Girls and Boys teams compete at the NZ Secondary Schools Tournament in Week 7 of Term 3. Year 7 and 8 students can attend the AIMS GAMES in September.
