READ NOWHockey WA high performance manager Jason Butcher said the team was a good mix of players.
“We understand we have to regenerate this team and over the last two years a number of youngsters have been blooded in the tournaments and also through the games that have been played throughout the year,” she said.
“This is an experienced team that the selectors have named but there is a large cohort in the broader mid 20s bracket, which will give us a strong core to place the next generation around in the coming years.
“It’s a team we have a real trust in and we are also confident in what has been delivered to bridge the gap as we transition this team into the future.”
The Australian Hockey League 2016 is taking place at Perth Hockey Stadium from September 29 to October.
