The annual Curtin Sports Awards were held on the 2

The annual Curtin Sports Awards were held on the 26th of October. After a number of years off campus due to COVID capacity restrictions, the 2022 awards saw the return of a full-scale event on campus at St Catherine's College Dining Hall.

It was a successful night for the club, with CUHC receiving the John Curtin Award for being "a beacon of positive change, embracing the challenges and opportunities of our times". The club demonstrated our alignment with Curtin University's Core Values of: Integrity, Respect, Courage, Excellence and Impact through the development of our indigenous playing uniform and reconciliation statement.

In addition to this Club award, Sarah Byrnes was awarded Half Blues and Kaitlin Nobbs successfully defended her title of Female Sports Star of the year. Amy Woodfield was again a finalist in the Volunteer Of The Year category, having won this award in 2021.

CUHC was well represented on the evening with a number Committee and National University Games squad members in attendance.

We thank Curtin Sport and Recreation for the recognition and continued support of all Curtin University sporting clubs.

Kirstie has built a reputation as one of the toughest players at CUHC.
She has played State junior hockey for WA in the u15s, u16s, u18s and u21s (gold 2012) also playing AHL for Tasmania and NT.
A formidable defender with the ability to read the play, she is known for cleaning up our defensive circle. Despite being a natural defender, she often finds herself on the score sheet with a great deflection from push out. Her goal celebrations are second to none!
Off the field Kirst is the epitome of hard work and consistency. She brightens up training with her humour and quick wit and we love having her as a teammate.

Congratulations Kirstie on your 250 Premier 1s games, a wonderful achievement.

Chani joined Curtin Trinity Pirates in 2011 and has been an outstanding contributor to the success of the Women’s Premier League Team and is a seven-time recipient of the Jackie Pereira Highest Goal Scorer Award, a feat unmatched by any other player.

Chani has been one of the most talented and prolific goal scorers in Premier League during her era. A natural striker, she has the ability to turn any possession in the circle into a scoring opportunity. Don Smart, recently inducted into the Hockey Australia Hall of Fame and Strikers Coach in Bunbury, played a huge part in Chani’s early days, encouraging her to take her hockey to the next level. Chani moved to Perth at the age of 16 after receiving a WAIS Scholarship. Melissa Hall, coach for the U18 State Team and South Perth Sharks/WASPS was also a big influence and support during her hockey career.

Mum Lindy and Dad Vince, Nanna and Pop (RIP) have been an instrumental part of her career. They were and still are her biggest supporters coming from Bunbury every weekend, barely ever missing a game throughout her career.

We are so proud to celebrate her amazing achievement of 350 (370) Premier League matches
