Yeah I agree with Vince, the standard of hockey in NZ is severely lagging behind Australia, we are catching up, but there is a long way to go.
1 or 2 teams from NZ would be a start. I mean we struggle to fill 5 teams at this level, let alone 5 at the level above.

I had hoped for the might of Australia to show up!
It just makes beating them better.
[/quote:2yyaz9s2]Australia are struggling to send a quality Australian team, as we’d consider it. They’ll be including a number of imports, possibly other development players. Timing doesn’t work for them at all.
How much weaker it will be than the Australian team that played at world champs – difficult to tell. Some of the imports will no doubt have been good enough to make the Australian team if they were eligible.
