Dane Lett

2020-21 Award Recipient

New Zealand hockey international Dane Lett was proud and humbled to have won the Wairarapa Times-Age Supreme Sports Award for the second consecutive time. “You don’t play team sports to try and go out and win individual awards, but it’s a good acknowledgement for a lot of hard work and I guess it’s more of a celebration for the people around me, who have helped me to do those things,” said Lett. “I don’t particularly like being in the limelight or anything like that but it’s really good recognition and something I’m proud of.” Lett took out the top gong for playing a pivotal role for the Black Sticks in the International Hockey Pro League and the successful Olympic qualifying series for the Tokyo Games, against South Korea in November 2019. He also won a silver medal with the Blacks Sticks at the 2019 Oceania Cup in Rockhampton, Queensland. On the domestic scene, Lett represented the champion Central Falcons in the inaugural National Premier League in 2020 and was player-coach for the Dale eld premier men’s side, leading them to consecutive Wellington Premier Championship victories in 2019 and 2020.
