Hamilton Boys High hits the jackpot with a TigerTurf WETT Pro and Ecocept hockey pitch

Waikato Diocesan School for Girls

Waikato Diocesan School for Girls embarked on a transformative journey to upgrade their hockey facilities, inspired by a visit to Hamilton Boys High School. Witnessing the capabilities demonstrated at Hamilton Boys High School, Waikato Diocesan School for Girls eagerly enlisted TigerTurf to revitalize their hockey facilities, transitioning from an older TigerTurf surface with Netball and Tennis line markings to a top-level hockey surface.

Metro Park Hockey

TigerTurf's multi-sport technicolour installation is a standout feature at the new hockey turf at Metro Park Hockey for the Hockey Hibiscus Trust. Teams warm up on the new sports arena, cheered on by supporters from the side-line seats, while players’ families enjoy an action-packed park. In 2019, TigerTurf constructed the main hockey field, installing the TenCate EcoCept base drainage system beneath the TigerTurf WETT Pro hockey surface. Phase 1 also included the installation of Lumosa LED lights, providing clear, safe illumination for both day and night games.

New Wett Pro hockey pitch for the Otago Hockey Association and Kings High School

TigerTurf constructed a new Wett Pro hockey pitch for the partnership of Kings High School and the Otago Hockey Association. We used an Ecocept base to stabilise and drain the site, implementing a system to drain the surface during major weather events and manage excess water within the site itself. Hockey is a tremendously popular sport in New Zealand for players and spectators. Our national teams compete successfully at international level, inspiring young hockey players to dedicate hours to practice and competitive play. This enthusiasm has led to schools and the Otago Hockey Association having more teams and talented players than the existing hockey facilities could accommodate. As the game has become faster, the players work hard to out-manoeuvre the opposition by pushing their ball skills to new levels. On a perfect surface, the impossible becomes possible – but New Zealand hockey needs young hockey players to develop into skilled, top-level players by playing on hockey pitches designed for this standard of play. At the same time, the sport needs more of these hockey pitches for our regional teams to use. Modern technical hockey surfaces bring teams the responsive, high-speed consistency required for players to develop skills that would be too high-risk on a natural turf surface. Add incredibly durable to low maintenance, and the TigerTurf Wett Pro hockey pitch goes to the top of the list.
