Statement to IHNSW Members – Sydney Sirens
Ice Hockey NSW is aware of the recent media and public commentary regarding the Sydney Sirens name.
We have heard from many of our members about how important the Sydney Sirens name, history and identity are to our ice hockey community. We appreciate the strength of feeling that exists and want to assure our members that this matter is important to us too.
IHNSW is actively managing the matter and has engaged legal advisers to ensure that our position and the history of the Sydney Sirens are appropriately considered and protected.
While that process is underway, we ask all IHNSW members to please refrain from making public or media comments about this matter.
In particular, we ask members not to contact or engage with the Sydney Sirens Netball Club, its players, staff, supporters, sponsors or associated organisations, and not to post negative, disparaging or inflammatory comments on social media or other public platforms.
We understand that members may feel strongly about this issue. However, personal criticism, online arguments, or repeated commenting does not assist IHNSW’s position and is not consistent with the standards of behaviour expected under our Codes of Conduct.
Please allow IHNSW and our legal advisers to manage this matter through the appropriate channels.
We appreciate that members want to support the Sydney Sirens and protect a name that has a long and valued history within our sport. At this time, the best way members can support us is by not engaging publicly and allowing the formal process to take its course.
IHNSW will provide further information to our members when it is appropriate, and we are able to do so.
To ensure all enquiries are managed consistently and appropriately, all media, public or other enquiries relating to this matter should be referred directly to IHNSW Executive Officer, Emily Luke, at .
Thank you for your understanding, patience and cooperation.
