Congratulations to Tasmania's hockey world champions Eddie Ockenden and Tim Deavin.
The Kookaburra's spectacular World Cup victory over the Netherlands on their home soil must rank as one of the greatest performances by our national team.
It is outstanding to have two Tasmanians involved in this historic win and who also made major contributions throughout the tournament.
Tasmania has a great hockey heritage and this is another proud chapter for the sport in our state.
I wish Eddie, Tim and another Tasmanian Nick Budgeon all the very best on their next endeavour to be selected to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
