About Capital Penguins Inline Hockey Club

An inline hockey club based at its home rink on Kilbirnie Crescent in Kilbirnie, Wellington. The club says it is the largest inline hockey club in the Wellington region, and it has been active since 1994.

Inline hockey is played on skates and is similar to ice hockey, but faster, with no defensive zones or offside rules and less contact. Teams are usually mixed, and there are junior women's and senior women's teams too. The club has a junior section, senior grades from social Senior B to competitive Senior A, and a Prems team, which the club says is the most successful in New Zealand.

New players can come along to three sessions without cost or commitment. After that there are training sessions, and a Development Squad in the second half of each year. The club runs a development programme for ages 6 to 14, and offers members the chance to move into coaching, refereeing and management roles.
