Just goes to show that coverage of some tournaments isn't that great (unfortunately) and also that I need to work on being more investigative when reporting on hockey!
Anyhoo... a little late, but nonethless, sighting of New Zealand's McGregor going "Dutch" fully. Not sure if it's weather conditions or humility of playing in that heat, but interesting to see.
Internestingly, it's not common for New Zealand goalkeepers. Not really seen any of New Zealand's internationals ever using that set-up as of late, as the right elbow covered by elbow pad and left arm free seems to be the most popular. Pontifex always uses it and I think Paul Woolford prefered the right arm pad of Obo and no arm padding on his left.
Also proves that McGregor was splitting starts with Manchester again in the tournament, which I was struggling to find out! Not sure who the starter is as not clear yet but they've got a few years until Rio for it to be decided! Previously he was wearing elbow pads on both arms, which were Mazon (as much as I remember!); Manchester is also using them, being in Mazon form.
