We’re excited to announce the squads from which our 2026 teams will be selected!

Squad members have now been confirmed, and we are currently in the process of finalising team selections from each squad.
Our goal is to have teams announced by 4 July 2026; however, this is subject to the release of the 2026 Skate Australia Championship document, which we are still awaiting.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this final stage.

Our Under 9s team has already been announced, with the coach still to be confirmed

The squads for the following divisions are attached:
Under 17
Under 23
Senior Women
Senior Men
Veterans
Over 50s.

Teams for each division will be selected from their relevant squad, and in some cases may still need the addition of players from interstate.

Unfortunately, we were unable to create viable teams in the following divisions this year;
Under 11s
Under 13s
Under 15s
Junior Women
Masters

We would like to thank all of the players who tried out for these divisions and will work with you to support any opportunities to play with other states for those who are interested.

Thank you to all athletes, families, and supporters for your continued commitment and support.

NATIONALS TEAM SELECTION UPDATE

Nationals tryouts have now been completed and the team selection process is underway.

The Inline Hockey Tasmania Committee is currently assessing player numbers, team composition and overall team viability across all divisions.

At this stage, we can confirm the following teams are currently viable:

• Under 9
• Senior Women
• Veterans
• Over 50

Unfortunately, we are unable to form viable teams in:

• Under 11
• Under 13
• Masters

Several divisions remain under review.

Following the 2025 National Championships, Skate Australia asked the National Technical Committee to review and update the National Championships player eligibility, sanctions and team composition rules following feedback received from players, parents, officials and member states.

Proposed changes are currently awaiting final ratification by Skate Australia.

These proposed changes may affect both player eligibility and the ability for states to include interstate players when local numbers are limited. As a result, they may impact the viability of some Tasmanian teams, as well as teams from other states with smaller player populations.

Historically, interstate players have helped Tasmania and other states fill gaps where local player numbers alone were insufficient to form complete teams. The proposed changes may alter both who is eligible to play for another state and the minimum number of local players required before interstate players can be included within a team.

For this reason, some team selections and viability assessments cannot be finalised until the final rules are confirmed.

Team viability is also about more than simply meeting minimum player numbers. We need to ensure teams have sufficient depth to compete effectively throughout the tournament and provide players with a positive Nationals experience.

Our priority is to provide as many opportunities as possible for Tasmanian players while ensuring teams can proudly represent Tasmania at Nationals.

If you are in one of the divisions still under review and are considering nominating, returning to play, or making yourself available for Nationals, now is the time to reach out. Every player matters when assessing team viability, and additional interest may influence the ability to field a team in some divisions.

We appreciate everyone's patience and will provide a further update once the Nationals rules have been finalised and team assessments are complete.

Thank you to everyone who attended tryouts and continues to support inline hockey in Tasmania.
