One of our key objectives is to ensure the exposure of our sport across Australia. It is important that Tasmania has exposure to our elite teams and we are aware that it has been a long time since the State had the opportunity to host the Kookaburras. These Test matches offer sports lovers in Tasmania a tremendous opportunity to see one of Australia’s most successful sporting teams live and we would encourage spectators to make the most of the series.

This test series will give Beijing Olympian, Tasmanian Eddie Ockenden his first international on home soil. Ockenden’s profile has soared after being chosen last month in the World Hockey All Star team.
