The Ice fernz are the NZ womens ice hockey team Ice Fernz triumph in Iceland Ice Fernz win Bronze in Akureyri, Iceland Congratulations to the 2017 Ice Fernz who won bronze this morning at their Division IIB tournament in Iceland. The team beat Turkey, Iceland and Romania, with close one goal losses to Spain and Mexico. Best player of the tournament for New Zealand was Helen Murray. Best forward for the tournament was Anjali Thakker.

Photo / Michael Craig Brain scientist Helen Murray is tired of people asking her when she's going to stop playing ice hockey. Murray, 27, captains our national women's ice hockey team the Ice Fernz, which requires intensive training, constant fundraising and six weeks away each year. In her day job she is one of 400 researchers in Auckland University's world-leading Centre for Brain Research, and on Tuesday she will graduate with a doctorate for four years of research which may help us to stave off Alzheimer's disease. Her blog of her life journey opens with a quote from a British writer Faith Jegede who said, in a speech about her two autistic brothers: "The pursuit of normality is the ultimate sacrifice of potential."
