Mackay will continue to see an influx of visitors on the 8th - 10th November with the hosting of the U14 Girls Indoor State Hockey Championships. The U14 Boys Championships were held in Mackay last weekend.
Pioneer State High School Hall in Andergrove has been the host venue for two weekends of indoor hockey action.
Mackay Hockey Association will be competing with two teams in each competition.
The Championships present a great opportunity to showcase the state’s incredible hockey talent in a round robin competition, and are used as a selection opportunity for the Queensland Indoor U14 Hockey Teams.
Mackay Hockey Association President Matt Murphy said, “On behalf of the Mackay Hockey Association, I would like to welcome Hockey Queensland Officials, competitors, their families and supporters to the 2024 Hockey Queensland Under 14 State Championships.
“The Mackay Hockey Association executive committee, volunteers and members hope that our hospitality will make this an enjoyable and memorable experience for all involved.
“Mackay has been well represented over the years at both State and National level and I am looking forward to watching the talent that will be on display, with hockey players showcasing their skills, sportsmanship and enthusiasm for the game, in the hope of winning this State Championship."
Mackay Mayor Greg Williamson said Mackay was excited to host the Indoor Hockey State Championships.
“This event serves as a platform for our budding athletes to sharpen their skills and compete against some of the best hockey players in their division in the state,” Mayor Williamson said.
“This tournament is more than a competition; it's a crucial stepping stone in the development of our young players, giving them the opportunity to hone their abilities and nurture their passion for the game,” he said.
“Good luck to all the players competing in these events, we trust this will be a fantastic tournament.
“Council is proud to support this event through our Invest Mackay Events Attraction Fund, which aims to attract visitors, generate positive economic results and foster community pride.”
