2024 Inline Hockey Australia National Championship – games for 1 to 4/10/2024

After being out of the Inline Hockey Australia National Championship for the past 5 years, South Australia returned to mix it with the best inline hockey players in Australia. This year’s event was hosted at Skate Paradise in Logan City in Brisbane, which is a purpose built skating rink with the surface comprising painted concrete. Apart from South Australia (SA), teams came from Queensland (Qld), New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (V), Tasmania (Tas) and Western Australia (WA), although the latter only fielded one team for Senior Men and one for Masters divisions.

South Australia fielded teams in Under 9, Under 13, Under 15, Under 17, Under 23, Senior Men, Masters, Veterans divisions and had South Australian players represented in Tasmanian teams in Under 11, Junior Women (17 and under) and Senior Women (16 and over) where South Australia did not field a team. There was also a division for 50+ year old competitors. Depending on how many teams were in the division determined how many minor round games and how many finals would be played.

This post follows the South Australian teams and players and some friends playing in the other teams, with particular emphasis on son Jordan’s under 15 and under 17 division teams.

Well into the swing of things on Day 3, the South Australian teams started have a feel for which states would be their greatest competition and how they stacked up against the other teams, and what tweaks needed to be made the lines and their strategies. Day 5 and finals started for some of the teams, eg Masters.
