Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. From the late 1970s, Palmerston North became one of the leading centres for indoor hockey in New Zealand. The game was played in summer. At its peak in the 1980s, the competition, played at The Manawatu Sports Stadium in Pascall Street, included more than 100 teams. The faster indoor game had a profound effect on the rules of the outdoor game, making it a faster, more skilful and open game.
