His teams may not have won a game but Whanganui skater Jimi Blinkhorne has returned from Australia with two trophies in hand.
Blinkhorne played for both the New Zealand under-17 and senior men's roller hockey teams in a three-test series against their trans-Tasman rivals last week.
Both side lost their respective Trans-Tasman Cup series 3-0 but Blinkhorne was named the most valuable player of the under-17 series and followed that up with the supreme sportsmanship award across the tournaments four grades.
The MVP award - chosen by the referees - was a great way for the 17-year-old to cap of his third and final trans-Tasman series with the age group side, which he also captained.
Meanwhile, the supreme award was for conduct on and off the field.
As he makes the shift to senior hockey, Blinkhorne also got a start for each of the New Zealand men's matches.
