Hockey New Zealand's chief executive Malcolm Harris has resigned.
Harris leaves the role he has occupied since 2013 to pursue another career opportunity and believes he leaves the sport in good shape.
"Both the Black Sticks men and women have qualified for the Rio Olympics, a four-year agreement for an annual transtasman series has been signed, plans are underway for a national hockey stadium and we have a packed national and international programme that is continually growing the game," said Harris.
"Hockey is well-regarded at both Sport New Zealand and High Performance Sport New Zealand for what has been achieved in recent years.
"We have continued to exceed Sport New Zealand's expectations at a grass-roots level which is a good indicator that we have successful nationally-aligned programmes and fantastic people throughout the sport."
