2024 Men's Premier Hockey League

The 2024 Men's Premier Hockey League was the second season of New Zealand's national league. The tournament was held across nine cities in New Zealand, with the placement finals being contested at the North Harbour Hockey Centre in Auckland. The competition commenced on the 2nd of November, and the placement finals took place on the 7th of December.

Following a four-year hiatus, the league returned under new private ownership.

The reigning champions from the 2020 edition were the Central Falcons.

Competition format

Format

The 2024 Premier Hockey League will follow the same format of the inaugural season. Teams will play in a double round-robin format during the Pool Stage, followed by two Classification Matches. Following the results of the Pool Stage, the top two ranked teams will contest the final, while the bottom two ranked teams will play off for third place.

Point allocation

Match points will be distributed as follows:

  • 4 points: win
  • 2 points: shoot-out win
  • 1 points: shoot-out loss
  • 0 points: loss

Conversion Goals

The 2024 edition featured a new Conversion Goal system. Following the scoring of a field goal, penalty corner goal, or a penalty stroke goal, the goal scorer takes the goalkeeper on in a one-on-one shootout. A successful conversion adds another goal to the score count.
