We were incredibly lucky to welcome Northern Stars Goal Shooter, Martina Salmon, to our courts yesterday!

Martina spent time with both our Junior and Premier players, leaving everyone feeling inspired and ready for the season ahead.

Martina’s visit was a special family affair, organised by her uncle and OHS staff member, Sam Moli. While Martina was born in NZ, she spent much of her career playing in Queensland. However, the "pull back home" to her roots sparked a career-changing move back to New Zealand—and what a move it’s been! In 2024, she was the only shooter to post 50-plus goals in a single match three times.

Pictured here: Martina with our 9A coach (and OHS alum) Michelle Hansen, and Premier coach Jeremie Atita.

We can’t wait to see that inspiration in action when the season kicks off in Term 2!
