We also have a little surprise for all our young players... 👀 Make sure you stick around to watch a demo game featuring our top A Grade players. It’s a great chance to see some of Hawke’s Bay’s best play!

We remember and honour a man whose impact on canoe polo, Napier Boys' High School, and the wider Hawke's Bay community cannot be measured by medals, results, or achievements alone.

He dedicated countless hours to supporting, encouraging, and developing young people in our sport. Whether introducing a beginner to canoe polo for the very first time, coaching athletes striving for high-performance success, refereeing games, or simply offering guidance and support when it was needed most, he gave everything he had to help others succeed.

His contribution to Napier Boys' High School was immense. He played a significant role in the growth of canoe polo within the school, inspiring generations of young men to challenge themselves, work hard, and become better both on and off the water. Many of those young men are stronger, more confident, and better people because they had the privilege of knowing him.

His influence extended far beyond NBHS. He was passionate about growing the sport at every level, supporting intermediate athletes, working alongside other schools, and encouraging participation wherever he could. He genuinely wanted to see everyone succeed and was always willing to share his knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm.

He was an outstanding and respected member of our community, a mentor, and above all else, a genuinely good person. His contagious laugh could brighten any day, his booming voice could be heard from across the venue, and his presence brought warmth, energy, and encouragement wherever he went.

The canoe polo community has lost a remarkable ambassador, but his legacy lives on in every player he inspired, every team he supported, and every life he touched.

Thank you for your dedication, your passion, your generosity, and your friendship. You will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever appreciated.

Rest easy Silver - You will be missed!
