There is a strong KZN flavour to the South African national men’s and women’s indoor hockey teams that have been named for the 2015 Indoor Hockey World Cup, which takes place in Leipzig, Germany from February 4 to 8.

Indoor hockey has many features of the outdoor game, and these SA indoor players have all distinguished themselves at national and provincial level in the outdoor format of the game. Indeed, a number still do, or recently have, represented the senior national team in outdoor hockey.

KZN has for some time been a dominant force in SA indoor hockey at interprovincial level.

The Spar-sponsored SA women’s team of 11 have five players from KZN Coastal Raiders including captain Cindy Hack, five from KZN Inland, plus former Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School (GHS) star Celia Evans, who is at North West University in Potchefstroom.


The Nolands-sponsored SA men’s team that have opted to  have five players from KZN Coastal Raiders, three from KZN Inland, two from Western Province -  Craig Haley and the captain, Maritzburg College product Dale Isaac - plus Southern Gauteng’s PG Geldenhuys and Keegan Kieck. Haley and Geldenhuys are UKZN Pietermaritzburg graduates.

Both SA Indoor World Cup teams have a series of build-up matches in Europe prior to the four-yearly showdown.
