"Jaguars Around the World" - Sydney, Australia

I've taken the challenge (again) - my Jaguars Jersey has seen a lot of miles.  Usually, when you think of Australia and Hockey, you would think of hockey played on a pitch with balls and a stick with an odd little hook.  The nickname "Kookaburras" would also come to mind.  But, as I came to find out, Australia also has a successful Ice Hockey Federation.  Check it out at www.iha.org.au  Here are a few quick hockey facts about Australia:  the Men's National Team are ranked 33rd in the world; Australia has been a member of the IIHF since 1938; and Australia won Gold at the IIHF World Championships Div IIB (not bad for a country that has only 3,258 hockey players, including Men, Women and Juniors, and 21 rinks).

 

Proud to be a Jaguar!  Coach Troy.
