"Life didn't begin in
Barbados, it was just
perfected here"
October 2011
Hello again from the Vintage
Hockey office in Auckland,
New Zealand. I should also
add a big Hola, Bonjour,
Gutten Tag and Dia Dhuit to
some of our international friends
from all over the world.
Although it's all about
hockey here at the Vintage
Hockey offices, we can't
help but be caught up in the
Rugby World Cup as rugby
mania has taken over New
Zealand. Good luck to the
remaining teams!
In this issue:

YES - it
really does look
like this! |

TOP STORIES

Recap - What is Vintage Hockey?
Vintage
Hockey is
the latest
sport to
join the
growing
Vintage
Sports
Movement
that already
includes
rugby,
cricket,
softball,
golf and
football.
Vintage
Sports
Carnivals
are designed
for players
of all
abilities,
agilities
and
experience,
over 35
years of
age.
|
And if
playing the
sport you
love isn't
enough,
carnivals
are staged
in
attractive
destinations
where the
chosen
sport, in
this case
hockey, has
a
significant
presence.
In
summary, a Carnival can be the ultimate experience for an avid mature
sportsperson
(over 35 years of age) who whilst never reaching representative status
can now ‘compete'
against and relax in the company of similar aged people from all over
the world
-
every 2 years!

Check out
this great clip
the Barbados
Tourism
Board put
together.
"Life didn't
begin in
Barbados, it
was just
perfected
here".
Although
October is a
month where
temperatures
begin to
drop and
fall-like
weather sets
in around
the globe,
vacationers
will find
beautiful
summer
weather
conditions
continuing
in Barbados.
Temperatures
remain in
the mid-80s
(35 degrees
celsius)
and the
amount of
rainfall
decreases
creating
pleasant
conditions
for all who
visit.

According to
Mariana
Suarez of
the 'Almost'
hockey team,
'Almost' are
the first
team of
veterans in
Uruguay.
They were
founded in
Montevideo
in 1999 by
former
players from
different
clubs who
wanted to
keep on
playing
hockey.
Their age
group ranges
from 35 to
60 and it's a
women-only
team, no
men!
Mariana,
says there
are no male
veterans in
Uruguay yet!
"We are not
a formal
club, just a
group of
former
players that
got together
and have
managed to
stay as a
team for 12
years now!"
says
Mariana.
'Almost'
told Vintage
Hockey that
for about 10
years
'Almost'
were the
only team of
veterans in
Uruguay and
had to play
in leagues
against much
younger
players,
which they
still do,
although now
there are
other teams
of similar
ages.
Nearly every
year
'Almost'
travel to
Argentina to
play
regional
tournaments
or Sevens
against
other
veterans.

Although
the
Kensington
Oval is
best
known as
a
cricket
ground,
it has
also
hosted
many
non-cricket
events
including
hockey.
The
stadium
underwent
massive
renovations
in 2007
in the
lead up
to the
2007
Cricket
World
Cup at an
estimated
US$45
million cost.
The
ground
has a
jumbo TV
screen
and also
a
jacuzzi
type
area to
relax in
while
watching
matches
- who
could
say no
to that?
