Two new exciting spectacles for hockey in WA
Published Tue 22 Sep 2020
With the 2020 National portfolio of events and championships postponed due to COVID, HWA have developed two unique event concepts that will provide our fans an opportunity to see the very best of our pathway athletes, as well as the Hockey Australia High Performance athletes in competition at Perth Hockey Stadium at Curtin University.
Hockey WA All-Star Challenge - Sunday 11 October 2020
The very best players representing our north of the river clubs will battle it out against their south of the river counterparts in a mouthwatering contest.
The players will be selected by a HWA led Selection Panel including current Perth Thundersticks coaches, Stephen Davies and Kate Starre, and will include current Hockey Australia Kookaburras and Hockeyroos squad members.
The Ric Charlesworth Classic - Sunday 25 October – Sunday 01 November 2020
In it’s inaugural year, the Ric Charlesworth Classic is a post-season competition attracting the best players, coaches and officials in the state.
Hockey WA’s Premier League Competiton boasts a plethora of high-quality talented players whose base is embedded into our member club structure. Whilst The Classic is being developed to provide much needed and deserved content for our aspiring and established players as a result of the interruptions caused by COVID, the ambition is for this event to become cemented in our portfolio for many years to come and continue to provide a wonderful platform for athlete selection into HWA’s state and high performance teams, inlcuding the Perth Thundersticks.
