Will Karaffa, Andrew Nixon and Curtis Stephens have been selected in the under-18 Victorian men’s team with Eryn Norie to represent the state on the women’s side from July 8-17.
Grace Ronnfeldt earned selection in the ACT team, along with Matt Mills and Shaun Moore in a strong show of faith in the talent within Hockey Albury-Wodonga and its academy program, which helped build skills over the summer break in readiness for selection trials.
“Hockey Albury-Wodonga has had a strong contingent of players making state teams for the past four years,” director athlete development Sharyn Norie said.
“There’s a strong talent pool here.”
It comes after Hockey Albury-Wodonga was well represented at the indoor Australian championships in Wollongong in January.
Macey Sutherland, Riley Sutherland and Cory Norie lined up for Victoria with Hugh Cullen and Nathaniel Conlan playing for ACT.
