Junior hockey is played Saturday mornings.
Junior hockey players have a season to look forward to thanks to a new committee that put its hand up at the eleventh hour.
Mahurangi Junior Hockey Club held an emergency meeting last month to find a new committee.
According to a notice put out to the community, Mahurangi juniors would have had to play at North Harbour instead of the Warkworth Hockey Turf, if a committee could not be found.
The junior club has welcomed Katie Moroney as treasurer and Bridget Berking and Emma Michelsen as co-secretaries. Lisa Berger continues as president.
Ms Berger says the club is still looking for anyone interested in the vice-president role for 2021, with a view to take over as president in 2022.
Registrations for the season starting May 8 have opened at www.mahujuniorhockey.com. The programme includes a fun sticks grade for years zero to two and competitive junior hockey for years two to six.
Games are played Saturday mornings at the Warkworth Hockey Turf. Last season, 200 juniors played in the competition.
Competing clubs include Warkworth, Horizon, Kaipara Flats, Leigh, Matakana, Snells Beach and Wellsford.
