Cairns Hockey was established nearly 90 years ago to administer hockey
in the cairns region. It has grown into a vibrant hockey association with 4
clubs – Brothers, Saints, Souths and Stingers with strengthening
relationship with Tableland Teams beginning to participate in the local
competition and has its home at the exciting Cairns North Sporting
Precinct
Cairns Regional Hockey Centre, 365 Lake Street, Cairns, 4870. Facilities
include:
 Two water based artificial pitches (with approved lighting) over seven
hectares
 Constructed to FIH specifications
Up to 6 well-conditioned support grass fields
 Location - North Cairns, 2kms from the airport, 4kms from the CBD
 Clubhouse and Member Amenities - AV facilities, warm-up areas,
parking, spectator seating and viewing mounts, security fenced
Cairns Hockey is an incorporated association managed by a duly elected
volunteer Board of Management. The Board consists of a President,
Finance Director and 3 additional Board members elected by its members
at an AGM. The Board employs administrative, ground maintenance and
coaching and development staff to drive and deliver the competitions and
supporting programs. It appoints volunteer operating committees to
assist and support the advancement of hockey programs, pathways and
competitions
In 2015, hockey supports school and community recruitment programs
within excess of 3000 participating. Cairns hockey ran a full field winter
competition and a modified summer hockey competition. It also
recognized an indoor competition. 1800 plus people male and female of
all ages participated in these competitions from Under 11 through to
Masters. In 2015 the competition was open to regional teams from
Atherton Tableland in both junior and senior competition grades.
In 2015, over 270 players represented Cairns across regional and state
competition, almost 40 coaches and managers were involved in
representative teams and over 15 umpires from Cairns Hockey officiated
in regional, state and national championships. In addition Cairns Hockey
is currently running an out of season Academy Programs with over 200
players and coaches involved.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Let me start by saying first off congratulations to all our members, staff and volunteers for a
very successful season. Whilst the year ran smooth and looked hassle free, there has certainly
been a busy year behind the scenes with a lot of work going on in the background.
My first year as President has been a very challenging yet a rewarding year.
There has been an enormous commitment from numerous people, with time and resources
offered freely over this year which has been above what I expected or had seen in the past.
Their selfless approach to the needs of this association has been extraordinary and without
these people we would not have seen the great advances that have been made this year.
In 2015 we had just over 1,250 members with a steady increase including an increase of 170
new junior numbers. Late 2014 early 2015 we worked closely with the clubs to make a
number of changes to the junior competition. The growth in junior numbers this year can be
attributed to the clubs putting in a concerted effort to raise their own numbers, so well done
to the clubs as your efforts are growing this sport again.
Due to the age, wear and tear of the Rainforest turf, early this year we had to replace the turf
plus this was essential for hosting the Australian Men's Masters Hockey Championships. The
turf replacement caused some interruption to our competition and rep training programs but
we managed to juggle schedules. Now we have an excellent playing surface that should last
another 9 or 10 years. The turf’s sinking fund had approximately $100,000.00 which meant
we had secure finance through Bendigo Bank for $280,000.00 which was very kindly
guaranteed by the Cairns Regional Council.
For the first time in a long while we saw volunteers come back out to Hockey starting with 70
plus volunteers who assisted with the removal of the Rainforest turf, the spirit of getting
Page 8
volunteers back to Cairns Hockey was alive and well plus this saved CHA approximately
$8,000.00 in removal costs.
In March the General Manager resigned after 8 years at Cairns Hockey. This was an ideal
opportunity for the Board to review the GM’s role, consult with the Hockey community, then
carefully consider the job description and gain a better understanding of what is in the best
interest for Cairns Hockey moving forward.
The decision made was to make the General Manager’s role redundant and create a new role
which was more in line with that of an Operations position. With this restructure saw the
appointment of Julie McNeil in June. The appointment of Julie is one of the Board’s best
decisions made this year. Julie’s experience around Hockey over the past 20 years has
brought new vision, clarity, plus a wealth of experience which will benefit our administration,
relationships with key stakeholders and communications with the clubs and members.
Julie’s position is a dual role, Operations Manager for CHA and Manager of the new Aspire To
Be Deadly Remote Indigenous Hockey program. As part of the restructure and Julie’s dual
position between CHA and the Aspire duties the Board appointed Carly Malcolm as an
Administration Assistant.
Effective July 1st 2015 CHA received a Grant from the Federal Government. I’d like to
acknowledge the wonderful support from Cairns Hockey’s Patron and local Federal Member
for Leichardt the Hon Warren Entsch MP. Warren’s passion, recommendations and support
for Cairns Hockey led to CHA being successful with our application and received a Grant for
$575,000.00 which will be delivered over a 30 month period.
The new Indigenous Hockey program Aspire To Be Deadly commenced on the 1st of July
2015. To deliver this new program CHA has employed Wes Ferns and Matt Cook full time
along with a Development Officer Jess Fatnowna starting early 2016 who will work within the
Aspire program to create pathway opportunities and mentor support programs for
Indigenous young women and girls across Cairns and Far North Queensland. The new
Indigenous Hockey program caused some misunderstandings with Hockey Queensland.
After lengthy discussions and 2 face to face meetings between CHA and HQ this matter has
now been resolved through mutual agreement.
Page 9
In the lead up to the Australian Men's Masters Hockey Championships an estimated 2000
Volunteer hours were put into the repairs and maintenance around the grounds. This is an
enormous effort which I sincerely thank everyone for. The mum’s and dad’s, boys and girls
who gave up their weekends to help bring our facilities up to a professional standard to host
the AMMHC and one that we can be very proud of. Our facilities are looking fantastic. I
would also like to thank the local AMMHC Organizing Committee for their long hours away
from their families and business’s to help make this Tournament a huge success.
We experienced another busy and successful competition on the fields which saw Atherton
have 3 teams play in the CHA competition this year and we must congratulation Saints
Hockey Club for being named Club Champions for 2015.
Once again Cairns Hockey was well represented with 24 Athletes being selected in
Queensland squads across both boys and girls age groups and senior men’s and ladies. Three
of those Athletes were selected to play for Australia at a Senior Australian Country level.
Congratulations must go to the athletes, their club coaches (past and present) including
David McNeil and Matt Cooke who assisted in their development and getting them prepared
for the National Championships. These achievements reflect strongly on the strength of the
Cairns Hockey community and its commitment to Hockey being played at a State, National
and International standard.
Late September we hosted the Australian Men's Masters Hockey Championships which saw
72 teams, 1200 competitors with another 500 plus family and friends arrive in Cairns. The
economic benefit to the Cairns region was estimated to be around 9 million dollars.
The Hockey was competitive yet played in great spirits. We certainly put Cairns Hockey and
our city on the map and gave everyone a memorable experience. Hockey Australia’s General
Manager Ben Hartung said that Cairns Hockey delivered 110% of Hockey Australia’s
Page 10
expectations. Well done to everyone involved for their passion and commitment to making
the 2015 Australian Men's Masters Hockey Championships one of the best. Our staff and
volunteers lead by Julie McNeil and Karen Cockrem were outstanding.
The summer sixes is again popular with experienced and non-experienced players liking the
shortened version and social nature of the game. It is great to see mum’s and dad’s playing
with their children and the sixes competition is another income stream that assists with
operational costs in the off season.
Last weekend CHA held a Strategic Planning workshop with all 4 clubs attending including
Atherton Hockey Association. The CHA Board is committed to having our clubs and members
be involved and contribute to the future direction of Hockey within our region and we thank
everyone who participated. The next 5 to 10 years is looking very positive.
Thank you to our staff for their support and extra efforts over this year of change. Without
your commitment much of this work would not have happened. I would also like to thank the
greater Cairns Hockey community for their achievements, efforts and support for the year,
it’s been a year full of many great achievements.
Finally I’d to take this opportunity to sincerely thank my fellow Board Members for their
unconditional support and commitment this year. After a busy 12 months we have remained
united, committed, and passionate to make Cairns Hockey one of Cairns leading sporting
associations. I am very grateful to be working with a group of dedicated professionals and
proud to be President of this wonderful sport we love and play. We have achieved many great
outcomes and laid a solid platform to start 2016 positive with clear goals and a long term
vision.
I’d like to wish everyone a safe and prosperous Christmas and New Year. May everyone be
blessed with well wishes, good health, lots of joy and take a moment to be grateful of who we
are and what we have!
Yours in Hockey
Scott Brown

OPERATIONS MANAGER REPORT
This new role was created in June 2015 after the Cairns Hockey Board undertook an extensive
review of their organization, practices and programs. I am tasked with implementing and
driving the Cairns Hockey Development Framework to support Cairns Board Strategic
Direction. This is highlighted in more detail within the report and provides a strong and solid
direction as CHA move forward together.
There was no time for settling with the following being managed and coordinated:(i)

timing)
Annual Financial Audits and 2016 Budgets
2015 Annual Report and AGM
Development Workshop and Strategic Planning Sessions
All these challenges have been made easier with the very positive way the Cairns Hockey
Members and Supporters have welcomed and embraced me. Many challenges remain and a
number of key issues await our attention including:-
Page 12
(a) Developing a stronger local and regional hockey competition – inviting Atherton to
nominate additional teams and expanding the local competition to include
participation in Atherton as part of the Cairns local competition
(b) Supporting Club Recruitment Plans across the growth regions of Cairns Southern
Corridor and Northern Beaches communities
(c) Revamping the Cairns Hockey Representative Team Program to provide increased
training and service delivery to our Teams to support increased volunteer involvement
and greater chance of success.
(d) Creating new and improved administrative practices designed to support our
stakeholders with the aim to improve and deliver high level of customer service and
support.
(e) Delivery of ongoing facility maintenance and improvements
(f) Promoting Cairns as a destination for future hockey events to our state, national and
international hockey partners and creating an Annual Hockey Participation Event in
Cairns to support this.
Cairns Hockey must look to achieve all these outcomes while delivering a responsible budget
and one that is based on developing sustained financial responsibility. New financial
processes and practices will be implemented looking towards a higher level of transparency
and accountability. The costs of playing hockey directly and indirectly will not reduce over
time. Therefore strategies to support increasing alternative revenue streams must be
identified including
(i)
(ii)
Page 13
Broadening the usages of Cairns Hockey assets and expand commercial uses ,
introducing new social competitions to highlight the inclusiveness of the sport in
the community
(iii)
(iv)
creating new events which highlight how hockey in the region can adapt to
embrace the currently untapped markets and
Increasing our efficiency and incurring cost savings as a result throughout the
Cairns Hockey competitions and programs
Cairns Hockey received federal government funding under the new Indigenous Advancement
Strategy with a special mention to our Patron Hon Warren Entsch for his ongoing support and
assistance. This is a new program which will support hockey development programs being the
vehicle to drive community benefit across education, employment and safety and well-being.
The new Aspire to be Deadly Program focuses on providing opportunities for indigenous
young women and girls through mentor programs, workshops and role modeling programs
and we look forward to strengthening existing ties with communities, expanding club
recruitment opportunities and embrace new partners in our goal to successfully meet the
funding outcomes and broaden hockey opportunities across the region of Cairns and Far
North Queensland. This program will broaden opportunities into mainstream hockey and the
partnerships and support gained through this program can be an example of how Cairns
Hockey is looking to deliver a truly integrated community support development program
with sport the driver of positive community benefits.
Hosting the 2015 Australian Men’s Masters Hockey Championships in Cairns 26th September –
10th October 2015 has certainly been the highlight of my brief time with Cairns Hockey. Final
Event Reports are still being completed but taking into account the feedback from the
participants, our partners, visitors, businesses and our members, Cairns Hockey should be
looking towards a very positive report including strong financial benefits, an increased
Page 14
respect amongst our partners and stakeholders including the Cairns Regional Council, State
and Federal Government and Hockey Australia.
A very sincere congratulations must go to Jason Fowler and the local organizing committee
members who all volunteered their time, skill, experience, and called upon their friends to do
the same and built a solid platform from which the Cairns Hockey Volunteers and Staff and
supporting partners could launch a successful coordination of 15 full days of event delivery.
Karen Cockrem – Cairns Hockey Board member volunteered herself as “volunteer
coordinator” and worked tirelessly to recruit 50 plus members to undertake judging and other
technical duties through-out the 12 plus hour days not to mention the all the general
volunteer roles which were filled with enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone who can call
themselves “the master volunteers”.
I would like to say thank you to all the Cairns Hockey members and supporters who through
their Clubs welcomed me into their Association so warmly. The challenges remain but the as
the engagement, respect and trust grows, so will Cairns Hockey and with this growth will
come opportunities for the region and beyond. To the Cairns Hockey staff, thanks for
supporting me in the transition and I look ahead to meeting the challenges together and
finally to Scott Brown President and all members of the Cairns Hockey Management Boardthanks for the unwavering support, the respect and the recognition which assisted me to
focus on my job while serious distractions were negotiated elsewhere.
I eagerly look forward to the rest of 2015 and bring on 2016 where I hope I can be part of the
team Cairns Hockey and work towards future successes.

REGIONAL COACHING DIRECTOR REPORT
The Year That Was
Coaching Department
Mid 2015 saw the restructure of the CHA Coaching Department with the introduction of the
following reviewed roles through the Aspire to be Deadly program;
Regional Coaching Coordinator
Aspire To Be Deadly Program Manager
Aspire To Be Deadly Development Officer**position filled however not full time until 2016
Whilst the roles of these new positions are vastly different, the positions provide greater
opportunities to work in conjunction with each other for positive outcomes within CHA and
the hockey community. The full effectiveness of this new structure is yet to be seen but I am
positive that 2016 outcomes will be impressive.
Representative Teams
Results for representative teams were not as expected and for a number of different reasons.
That been said, it is the Coaching Departments responsibility, in liaison with CHA Admin to
Page 16
provide the best opportunities for both our players and coaches alike to perform at their
optimum at State Championships.
A 2015 review has been completed with the Administration staff regarding the off field
practices for Representative Teams which will no doubt have positive effects moving forward.
In my opinion, the standard at State Championships through the junior age groups is
declining, and has been for a number of years. With the “big sports” definitely attracting
more of the young boys, hockey is getting a much lower percentage of athletically gifted
athletes.
This scenario therefore provides a greater challenge to all coaches and new/different
resources must be found to engage our players. The problem of “social networks” for our
youth also creates a challenge as the youth of today communicate and learn in a much
different way than say just five years ago.
Number of teams at representative level in 2015 were as follows;
Under 13 Boys
Division 1
Under13 Girls
Division 2
Division 1
Division 2
Division 3
Under 15 Boys
Division 1
Under15 Girls
Division 1
Division 2
Under 18 Boys
Division 1
Under18 Girls
Division 1
State Open
Division 1
State Open
Division 1
Possible changes in 2016 would be;
Under 18 Girls
Division 1 & 2 (made possible with Championships in Townsville)
State Open Men
Division 1 & 2 (made possible with Championships in Cairns)
Page 17
As mentioned previously, 2015 was our third year in a row where we have sent three (3) teams
to Under 13 girls which has a ripple effect of creating more depth in our 15’s and 18’s in 2016
and beyond. Numbers for boys is still a concern.
Representative Players
A total of 24 athletes were selected in Queensland Squads in 2015 and are mentioned on
pages 21 and 22 of the Annual Report. Three of those athletes were selected to play for
Australia at a Senior Australian Country level.
Not included in the above are athletes that commenced their playing days in Cairns, moved
on, but still representing at a Queensland level and they are;
 Simon Borger
 Jess Watson
 Leigh Thomas
I would also like to congratulate athletes selected to represent Queensland at a school level
and not included in the above figures and are also mentioned on page 21 and 22.
Moving Forward – 2016 and Beyond
The 2016 Representative and Domestic season will see a number of changes;
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
(vii)
(viii)
(ix)
Page 18
A high percentage of representative trainings will be recorded for visual feedback
More technology will be utilized to get information to Clubs, Coaches and Players
Identified athletes will receive constant in season training for specialist areas i.e.
goal keepers
Club game footage will once again be available.
Workshops on a six weekly basis for all Clubs will be offered
Representative Coaches will have clearer and more defined playing structures that
will be the “Cairns Way”
A change in Culture applicable to representative teams will be introduced, player
and coach alike.
A coach recruitment and education program for the longer term will be
introduced.
CHA website page used to a greater extent for skills development.
(x)
RCD and RCC in conjunction with Coaching Committee work to develop the best
competition for our CHA athletes.
Years 2013 – 2015 have witnessed a priority through the Coaching program to develop players
within the Cairns Region. This needs to and will change in 2016 as a greater emphasis will be
placed on Coach Education. It has been the lack of priority in this area that has had the
biggest “ripple effect” on our players.
Coach one player, you get to one player – coach one coach, you get to a minimum of a team
of players.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteer Coaches and Managers for their
time and efforts throughout the 2015 season. All associations rely on an enormous amount of
volunteer hours to keep afloat and I sincerely thank you. To the staff and board of CHA, thank
you for your support of the Coaching Department. New ideas are always welcome,
passionately discussed and implemented where possible.
2016 will see a number of changes, all of which I am sure will benefit players, coaches and
clubs alike. I look forward to these challenges and working with you all moving forward.

Representative Masters Competitions 2015
Cairns Hockey recognizes the importance of Masters Competitions at all levels to the future
prosperity of the hockey across the region and congratulates all players who represented at
Cairns, Queensland, Other State and ultimately those who were selected in the national
programs.
2015 ASPIRE TO BE DEADLY REPORT
Cairns Hockey have been long term partners (in excess of 10 years) with Hockey Queensland
in the Remote and Indigenous Hockey Program and through this partnership the Cairns
Hockey Community have taken unique and special interest in this programs continuing
success. With new opportunities available in 2014, Cairns Hockey Board believed it to be
aligning with their developing strategic direction to value add to the Hockey Queensland
program by designing an indigenous hockey development program that specifically
addressed the issues and opportunities using hockey as the vehicle to drive positive outcomes
for indigenous young women and girls. Cairns Hockey is the only regional association is
Queensland that has over 10% indigenous participation across its representative programs
and wanted to support local and regional programs uniquely delivered through Cairns
Hockey. Through the support of our patron and other community supporters, applications
were made under the new Indigenous Advancement Strategy and subsequently, a successful
agreement was negotiated to provide a great opportunity for hockey through-out this region.
This program will provide Cairns Hockey the opportunity to integrate Closing the Gap
strategic outcomes across education, employment and well-being and build a platform
across the hockey community to indigenous young women and girls have significant
opportunities to succeed on and off the field through a series of well identified and connected
partnerships within the region. The Cairns Hockey community have embraced this program
Page 33
and strong community support programs are based around schools, indigenous groups and
club and association hockey programs in 2016 including developing relationships with
residential facility Tropicana Lodge in Cairns as a future major partner for this program and
the young indigenous women it will benefit.
2015 UMPIRES AND OFFICIALS REPORT
What a year 2015 has been!
This year has been a very big year for hockey in Cairns. On behalf of the Cairns Hockey Umpires
& Officials Association Board, I would like to thank all of our members, supporters, Cairns
Hockey Association and everyone else who chipped in and lent a hand throughout the year.
Over the past few years our association has put a lot of effort to developing our umpires, from
the grass roots up to our top levels. This year saw more of a focus put in to developing our
technical officials. I would like to thank the many individuals who sat on the bench each and
every Saturday during Classic League and Reserve Grade matches. I also applaud those who
put up their hand to do a game or two during the recent Australian Men’s Masters
Championship in Cairns.
This year also saw a number of umpires receive accreditations; both new accreditations and
upgrades. To the many umpires who represented Cairns at state championships throughout
the year, thank you. It was great to receive positive feedback from Hockey Queensland on the
effort you all put in. We also had five of our umpires appointed to national panels by Hockey
Page 34
Australia. Congratulations to Andrew Hickman, Carrie Born, Chris Harris, Brendan Hoff and
Bruce Hockey on your appointments. These appointments show that we have some very
talented umpires amongst us and that Cairns isn’t just another regional association; we can
compete at the top level.
I would also like to congratulate Katrina Noonan and Rachel Gilbert for the work they have
done this year with umpiring. Katrina was our Senior Umpire of the Year, with Rachel picking
up the Junior Umpire of the Year award.
With 2015 now behind us, we are looking forward to 2016 and everything that it brings. We
have seen great improvement in our officials over the past few years and with the continued
support of Cairns Hockey Association and our members, we will only continue to see more
improvement in the coming years.

Australian Men’s Masters Hockey Championships (AMMHC)
What started as a small idea in a conversation in Mackay, May 2014 has now finished with
unbelievable success and long term benefits for Cairns Hockey.
We welcomed 72 teams (2,500+ people) to Cairns, back in late September and they all left
with fantastic memories some 227 games and 15 days later. AMMHC is the largest hockey
event held in the country each year and Cairns Hockey has delivered one of the most
memorable championship held since its inception in 1980.
Page 36
The most pleasing memory for me was the way in which the Cairns Hockey community
gathered together to make this event such a success. Sure it started with a small team who
you put the ground work in place, grew in numbers over the many working bees and built into
a crescendo with the e significant number of volunteers undertaking all sorts of jobs during
the tournament.
Particular thanks must go to Julie McNeil (Tournament Convenor) and Karen Cockrem
(Volunteer Coordinator), along with all of the CHA staff, for their tireless efforts and
commitments in the lead up to and during the event.
We must also thank our many corporate supporters whose generosity has led to a significant
improvement in the facilities available to all CHA members. Many meters of concrete paths
have been laid with new grass verges, the outstanding Reef deck for improved spectator
viewing and numerous other underground services to allow for future player amenities. Their
cash and in kind support has ensured the financial success of our event. Whilst the list of
corporates is long special mention must be made of:

Cairns Regional Council

Northern Urology

Cairns Steel Fabricators

Brothers Leagues Club

Underwood Hire

Tafe North

Destination Cairns Marketing.
Page 37
The economic benefit to Cairns Hockey was significant, however it is conservatively
estimated that in excess of $10,000,000 was delivered to the wider Cairns community.
Hopefully we can continue to deliver major events of benefit to both Hockey and the
community into the future with the support of Hockey Australia and our volunteer members.
Our new “Hero” image will help to position Cairns Hockey across Australia and Asia a great
place visit to play hockey and experience our tourism icons.
Finally thanks you to the team of people on the organizing committee that contributed their
unique talents to deliver such a successful tournament and lasting legacy for Cairns Hockey.

Mark Fry, Greg Gilboy, Michael Hooper, Nick Hardy, Todd Parker, Kaine Overlack, Pip
Miller, Andrew Dineen
I’m not sure any of us understood what I was asking you to undertake when I tapped you on
the shoulder to help. Many lessons were learnt along the way, however the combination of
skillsets and desire to produce a memorable event with legacy benefits for cairns Hockey, has
meant it was time well spent.
