We love hockey

The spray of water from the turf – the thunk of the ball hitting the backboard – the camaraderie between teammates – unique elements that ignite the senses and create a life-long love of the game.

Pulling on the Black Singlet or Shirt is the ultimate achievement for talented hockey players – and Vantage are proud to be part of that journey with our Black Sticks men and women. Behind every success, is the result of commitment and sacrifice by the players and their supporters.

We love our hockey community – join us by signing up to our updates to keep up to date with the Vantage Black Sticks.
