Year 13 students Richard Ruetsch and Deputy Head Girl Gracie Potter returned early from the St Paul's Hockey Tour in Europe to attend the NZ U18 Future Blacksticks Training Camp from 7-11 October.
At the camp, they trained in a high-performance environment with top coaches, gaining exposure to the skills and play styles needed for the world stage. We can't wait to see where your hockey careers take you, Richard and Gracie!
