Selwyn Maister on NZ's only hockey Olympic gold

From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 2 March 2023

For today's NZ Sporting History we go back to 1976 where the New Zealand Men's hockey team struck Olympic gold in Montreal.

They beat old foes Australia, by scoring the only goal of the match in the second half.

It's the first and only time the men's team has achieved such a feat.

On that team was Selywn Maister, he joins Jesse to talk about that golden day in NZ Sporting History.
