Hockey funding

The Australian Women’s Ice Hockey League (AWIHL) has secured Victorian Government funding to host its final series in Docklands in March.

AWIHL commissioner Melissa Rulli said the finals would be played at O’Brien Group Arena on March 17-19.

“We thank the Minister of Sport for this funding,” Ms Rulli said. “This assists in reducing the operating costs for the event in Melbourne, at the O’Brien Group Arena facility in Docklands.”

The AWIHL is a national league that provides the highest level of competition played regularly by female competitors.
