Season 2010 welcome

Welcome old members, prospective members, new members and visitors to the ANU Hockey Clubs website.

We are preparing for an incredible season 2010, in which we plan to carry all before us and enjoy eachother's company as we play the sport we love so well.

As usual, the women's and men's clubs will be seeking to enter teams in every possible grade of hockey in the ACT (which no other club does) so as to give our members every chance to play the level of hockey that suits them best.

It will be an exciting season, with the development of the new pitch at ANU, and both our clubs looking to make amends for not winning their respective presidents nearly enough bling in 2009 (certainly less than they are used to).

If you are thinking about joining up, you should - register by clicking on the link above.

The season starts in the last week of March.

See this site for training details and get in touch with your equipment officer if you need gear (the men's club will be getting new shirts around round 4).

Contact details for the clubs are on this site. Don't hesitate to ask any questions of your friendly club executive.

Hope you have a good off-season and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Web Site Look & Feel

As most of you will have guessed The Rats Nest is based on the same platform as Wikipedia. By default this gives our site a very formal appearence. The appearence can be changed to project a more appropriate first impression. There is little difficulty in actually making the change from a technical perspective; from a creative perspective there is a serious problem. The BlackRat is, while unquestionably awesome, a genuine Star Trek watching, WoW playing, Sonic Screwdriver carrying nerd. As such the styleistic design of this site is best left to more adept individuals. If you have good ideas please contact the BlackRat.
