” title=”Smiley” />This is the full blurb from Jeff Bonazzo:
Skate Of Origin 2009
The New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation is proud to announce the inaugural NZIHL Skate Of Origin 2009!
Skate of Origin is a game played by New Zealand team eligible NZIHL stars. This contest will pit mate against mate, as players will represent the island they first learned how to the game of ice hockey. The North Island Team will boast players from all five NZIHL Teams and will face the very best players to ever come out of the South Island. The game will also serve as trial for the 2010 New Zealand Ice Blacks as they begin to prepare for the Division II World Championships in Estonia in April.
The game will be played on Sunday September 27th at 5:00pm at Paradice Botany in Auckland. This year will mark the very first NZIHL Skate of Origin Game and will go down in the history books as one of the yearly highlights.
The winner will earn the right to hoist the inaugural Glass Family Plate. The stunning silver plate is named after the Glass Family of the South Island with three generations of contributors and builders of the sport within New Zealand. Ben Glass is a founding member of the NZIHF and Patron of the SIHL. Graeme Glass is the Past President of the NZIHF and recently inducted Life Member. And of course there is recent Ice Blacks Captain, Simon Glass.
It is set to be a fast, hard hitting game and is the last chance to see NZIHL action in Auckland in 2009. Tickets will be sold at the door and will be $15 per adult and $10 per child under the age of 16 years.
stuff flying up to watch! itl cost a fortune! plus itsnot hugely exciting as i dont really care who wins. if it was down here then sure id go watch but it still wont be exciting for at least 5 years,it needs some time for it to become a major event, if you know what i mean
Good for the north islanders but from a spectator standpoint, the CRD v STP games this year seem to be the fan consensus best games to watch. The final should be no different. Best hockey is in the south this year.

[/quote:3hh739gf]Not exactly the same. My one looks the same as the one on the nzihl site. Not sure where yours came from but it didn’t include the mention of it being the trial.
