A Nelson Hockey stalwart was the inspiration behind the Town vs Country fixture.

Mark Wilkens died while playing hockey at Saxton Filed in 2015 and a trophy named in his memory was up for grabs in the inaugural Town vs Country Game at Saxton Fields.

The trophy was commissioned by Jamie Brown and created by Kieran Cleary, both teachers at Nelson College where Mark attended in mid-1970s. It is a great way to remember a man who had given so much to the game, both in Nelson and at National level.

It will be a great opportunity to play a game in Mark’s honor which we think he would have appreciated, and thought this annual Town vs Country concept is a great way to players to get together to remember him.

After the game, NHA will invite Mark’s family to present the trophy.

We’ll see you all on Sunday July 31st at NHA.
