As the Australian body with which we are affiliated has changed their name to "Australian Masters Hockey" in order to meet the requirements of AHA, and the Australian Championships are now to be known as "Australian Mens Masters Hockey Championships" our State body has followed suit and will be now officially known as
" QLD MEN'S MASTERS HOCKEY "
All correspondance, references etc will now reflect this name change. The web address however will stay as
www. qldmensvetshockey.com
