A new chapter begins for the Kookaburras, and it’s about to get *real* exciting. Mark Hager, back in his homeland after an impressive run with GB women (hello, Tokyo 2020 bronze!), is set to lead Australia’s men’s team to the LA 2028 Olympics.
After the drama of Paris 2024, the Kookas are ready for a fresh start, and Hager is just the man to bring the fire.
As a former Kookaburras captain and Olympic bronze medalist, Hager’s pumped to return, saying, “Coaching the Kookaburras has always been my dream. Now it’s time to bring the team back to its glory days—only with less drama and more gold.”
With a proven track record of turning teams around—hello, New Zealand women’s team and their Commonwealth gold—Hager is ready to shake things up. Hockey Australia’s CEO, David Pryles, couldn’t agree more: “It’s time to refresh, refocus, and chase that LA 2028 gold.” Let the Kookaburras’ next chapter begin!
