Our story
In early 2023, a new concept for a unique social hockey team was born – the Southern Stags.
Nestled against the dramatic backdrop of Queenstown's awe-inspiring mountains, the Queenstown Ice Arena stands as the foundational home of the Southern Stags. It is here where the team came to life and where it proudly represents the mighty Stag across various leagues and tournaments.
Yet, the Stags are not just about victories on the scoreboard – it's about fostering a team culture that exudes the time honoured Southern spirit. The team's identity is grounded in unity, camaraderie, and the shared passion for ice hockey. The Stags are not just a group of hockey players; they are a family, bound by their commitment to the game and the region they represent.
"Hockey: Where missing teeth are just badges of honor."
