PUBLIC STATEMENT – CLARIFICATION OF MĀORI HOCKEY ENTITIES
For clarity, two separate legal entities now exist: NZ Māori Hockey Inc. and Te Haupoi Māori o Aotearoa Inc.
Following a disputed vote at the 2025 AGM, differences over Māori hockey governance led to the formation of a separate entity rather than those differences being resolved within the existing organisation.
With two separate legal entities now in existence, each is responsible for its own governance, communication, and accountability to its respective community. Each must operate independently, within its own legal and constitutional boundaries, and follow the proper processes.
Neither entity can speak or act on behalf of the other without proper authority, nor represent itself as the other or use the other’s identity in a way that creates confusion about its legal status or authority.
Both entities have a responsibility to communicate clearly with their respective communities and be transparent about their governance, decisions, and responsibilities.
Our priority is to ensure the community has clear and accurate information about the AGM, which organisation it relates to, and the appropriate processes to be followed.
