* Sports editor: We cover key sports relative to resources available. Rugby, football, basketball are key codes in winter and, consequently, receive premier coverage. Hockey, like every code, have been advised to email their results to be published regularly. HB Hockey, as of late, has sent stories on the NHL campaign and the selection of three under-21 players for the NZ squad. They have been published, accordingly.
