TAKE YOUR HOCKEY FURTHER.
Volcáns brings selected East Coast Bays players together for additional opportunities to compete, develop and experience tournament hockey beyond their regular club hockey.
LOCAL. NATIONAL. INTERNATIONAL.
ANOTHER PATHWAY. ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
Not every player’s hockey journey looks the same.
Volcáns provides an additional club-based pathway for ECB players who want to take on more challenges, experience different levels of competition and explore where their hockey could take them.
It complements the opportunities available through ECB, school and representative hockey, giving players another way to develop and compete while staying connected to their club.
DEVELOP
Build your game through new experiences.
COMPETE
Test yourself against different opposition.
EXPERIENCE
Experience hockey in new environments.
MORE THAN A TOURNAMENT
The hockey matters. So does the experience.
Volcáns gives players the chance to experience hockey in a different way — playing against unfamiliar opposition, adapting to new environments and learning to perform as part of a team away from their regular competition.
These experiences can build confidence, independence and resilience, while helping players develop their hockey and their understanding of what it takes to compete.
NEW OPPOSITION
Test yourself against teams and players you don’t regularly face.
NEW ENVIRONMENTS
Experience hockey in different venues, cities and tournament settings.
NEW CHALLENGES
Adapt, compete and find ways to perform when the game gets tougher.
NEW EXPERIENCES
Build memories, friendships and a stronger connection to your teammates and ECB.
WHERE CAN VOLCÁNS TAKE YOU?
From local tournaments to international competition.
Volcáns opportunities can take different forms throughout a player’s youth hockey journey. From gaining early tournament experience to competing nationally and internationally, the aim is to give players opportunities that challenge them and broaden their hockey experience.
LOCAL
START HERE.
Tournament opportunities that introduce players to a different level of competition and help build confidence in tournament hockey.
NATIONAL
STEP UP.
Opportunities to compete against different opposition from around New Zealand and test your game outside your regular competition.
INTERNATIONAL
SEE THE WORLD OF HOCKEY.
Opportunities to represent ECB at selected international tournaments and experience hockey in a completely different environment.
Opportunities vary by age group, player interest and what is available each season.
THE VOLCÁNS EXPERIENCE
Challenge yourself. Back your teammates. Represent ECB.
Being part of Volcáns is about more than playing another tournament. It’s about stepping into new environments, taking on challenges with your teammates and representing East Coast Bays with pride.
Players learn to adapt, compete and contribute as part of a team — building experiences that stay with them long after the final whistle.
REPRESENT
Wear the ECB colours and represent your club with pride.
CONNECT
Build friendships and strengthen your connection with teammates and ECB.
GROW
Take on new challenges and learn from every opportunity.
FROM ECB TO THE BIGGER STAGE
Where club hockey can open new doors.
Volcáns is part of the wider ECB pathway, giving selected players an additional opportunity to challenge themselves beyond their regular competition while remaining connected to their club.
For some players, these experiences may lead to further opportunities in senior, Premier or representative hockey. For others, the value is simply in becoming a better player, a stronger teammate and a more confident young person.
