2025 KMSB Youth International Gryphon Cup WA teams announced

Published Thu 06 Nov 2025

Hockey WA would like to congratulate the athletes that have been selected to the WA teams that will be competing at the 2025 KMSB Youth International Gryphon Cup.

The tournament, which provides a special opportunity for younger players to experience elite hockey at an international level, is set to take place at Perth Hockey Stadium and UWA Superturf from Thursday 20 November to Sunday 23 November.

Players that represented Western Australia at the Hockey Australia Under-16 National Championships earlier this year will compete in their respective State teams once again as the Stars and Highlanders, while two further teams (KMSB Waves, and OMSB Outbacks) were selected after a series of trials.

Running as part of Hockey WA's Asian Engagement program, the KMSB Youth International Gryphon Cup is an under-16 tournament for boys and girls played over four days, offering a high level of elite youth competition.

Congratulations to the selected players!
