Our new 2025 JSC Zone Coordinators are here

Hockey Victoria wish to provide an update on the 2025 Zone Coordinator roles ahead of the JSC trials in April.

Firstly, we would like to thank our outgoing Zone Coordinators from 2024. We are sad to see these Coordinators depart, but we are eternally grateful for the amazing support they have shown their respective Zones and Junior State Championships community over the years.

Thank you Tammy A’Beckett (Central Flames), Pam Trenery (North East Red Devils), Clarke Rossiter (North West Tigers), Tina Papadopoulos (Southern Sharks), Clio Bergmann (Gippsland Bulls), and Mark Bridge (South West Eagles) for your time as Coordinators of your respective Zone.

For some, you have been with us for 5+ years, for others it was just a year or two. However long it may have been, without you, the JSC would not continue to grow and thrive. You have all done an incredible job and you should be proud of your outstanding work!
