I am stepping down from my role as Media & Marketing Manager of the New Zealand Ice Hockey League.
I have held the role for 2 seasons and overseen a great deal of change, especially off the ice.
I saw that as my role, to focus on the fans and in doing so grow the game.
I feel I succeeded rather well, adding colour, atmosphere, providing good guidance and increasing the image, communication and patronage across the league.
It has been deeply rewarding, seeing the growth, being part of the community and effecting positive change. I have a lot of pride in what I've achieved and know that I have helped lay a solid foundation for the future. I am sure the structure I have put in place will continue to evolve the game and bring new people to it.
With so many positives, it can be hard to fathom why I am leaving, but the fact is I am exhausted.
Implementing the vast array of changes I brought to the league was no mean feat and required huge amounts of time, energy and patience. The hardest part is probably behind us, but I feel someone new to the role will freshen things up and I have told the league I will be available on a consultation basis should my experience need to be called upon.
I would now like to shift my focus back to what brought me into ice hockey, television.
I feel with the increase in the quality of the product that the move towards more televised coverage becomes ever more inevitable.
I do enjoy producing that content and think confining my efforts to this area will generate the best results.
And that is my hope, that in the 10th season of the NZIHL, we will be bringing the game to a screen near you.
There's a lot of water to pass under the bridge, but if the proposals put forward in my end of season report are adhered to then I see no reason why we cannot.
In the meantime, I need a holiday and some cricket.
