DHS Hockey:

36, yes, 36 KZN Hockey Representatives for DHS!!! Whilst this announcement is still surreal to the DHS Family, we wish to congratulate our Hockey Coaching Staff who have taken our Hockey Program to the next level.

The announcement that no less than 36 DHS players will be representing KZN in Hockey for 2022 is a testament to the work that our Director of Hockey, Michael Baker and his coaching staff continously do and how they are breaking boundaries, whilst doing everything for our boys. To our boys, all 36 of you, a massive congratulations to all of you on these historic selections. In School’s Hockey history, this is the largest KZN selection of players by an absolute landslide. Along with our historic Craven Week selections, History has now been made for Hockey.
