    The Black Sticks men are pushing Pro League qualification out of their minds at hockey's Nations Cup in Malaysia

    The Black Sticks men are pushing Pro League qualification out of their minds at hockey's Nations Cup in Malaysia


    The national team has qualified for tomorrow morning's semi-finals after three wins in pool play...and if they defend their title they'll qualify for the global Pro League.

    It's a feat they achieved last year before pulling out of the elite competition due to financial pressures.

    Head coach Greg Nicol is amped at the idea of winning the tournament, but is philosophical about Pro League qualification.
