The dream of producing an NHLexhibition game between Canada andthe USA started in 2009. We then hadto find a fully portable NHL Spec icerink – not easy.

2013 Australia: International IceHockey was taken to Australia for a twocity, three game tour. The tourreceived overwhelming support sellingout all three games, two at Melbourne’sHisense Arena and one at Sydney’sAllphones Arena with over 40,000spectators.

It was thebiggest and most successful tour to datewith all five games sold out with a totalof 64,000 spectators and the highestcaliber of players ever to play inAustralia
It has been important to us that we haveshared the vision and found ways togrow the game in Australia and NewZealand.
It’s about growth!
In November 2014 we produced the firstever PBR New Zealand Cup where 22 ofthe world’s best professional bull riderscompeted on 52 of New Zealand’s bestbucking bulls. All staged indoors duringNew Zealand’s biggest week of agriculture,horse racing, entertainment and the annualA&P Show where country comes to town.
For the past 20 years PBR has becomeone of the fastest growing sports to comeout of the USA. It has expanded to sevencountries including, Canada, Brazil,Mexico, Australia, China and now NewZealand.
Securing the rights to the PBR NewZealand Cup has been a dream of ours andwe are proud of the relationship we havedeveloped with PBR Australia and PBRUSA.
It’s about partnerships!
American football is already played inNew Zealand and Australia with a littleover 2,800 participants in both countries.
