The Hawke’s Bay Sports Events and Education Consortium has sealed a partnership with Hockey New Zealand.
The length of the agreement was not disclosed, but Hawke’s Bay will act as the national governing body’s principal partner.
The two parties originally linked up in 2012.
“We see this as more than a one-off sponsorship – it’s about building on a strong relationship between the Black Sticks and Hawke’s Bay community,” Hockey New Zealand interim chief executive Ian Francis said.
