North Harbour Hockey Association is the hockey body for the North Shore, and it runs from the National Hockey Centre on Bush Road in Rosedale, at 159 Bush Road. The association moved to the centre in December 2019, after its earlier home at Rosedale Park South. The centre has five turfs, and the association says hockey is played there every week across them. The association runs winter competitions for players of all ages and levels, with summer hockey for primary, youth, adult and masters players aged 35 and over. It also runs coaching courses for players, coaches and umpires, and clinics for representative players. Venue hire on the North Shore is available.
The association says it has some 4,300 winter players and 2,000 summer players, and that its catchment runs from Devonport to beyond Warkworth and from Massey to Helensville. It manages competitions for 10 clubs, 16 secondary schools and 68 junior schools, and it has 29 representative teams a year. Its history dates to 1973, when the North Shore Women's Hockey Association was formed, and it has long had the largest junior girls division in New Zealand. Volunteers run much of the association's work. For a family or club looking for hockey on the North Shore, winter and summer competitions and coaching are all available from the one centre.
