Hockey Australia announces partnership with Musco Lighting for facility upgrades
Hockey Australia is pleased to announce a three-year strategic partnership with Musco Sports Lighting, a global leader in innovative sports lighting solutions.
Under the agreement, Musco Sports Lighting will collaborate closely with Hockey Australia to support upgrades and development across hockey facilities nationally. The partnership will focus on delivering high-quality lighting solutions for fields and venues used by Australia’s elite and community programs, as well as providing broader project support for facility improvement initiatives.
A key element of the partnership is Musco’s ability to elevate the standard of hockey under lights nationwide. High-quality lighting plays a crucial role in ensuring safe, consistent and enjoyable playing environments for athletes of all skill levels—from grassroots participants and junior competitions to high-performance athletes preparing for international events. Enhanced lighting extends venue usage, supports the growth of evening competitions, and improves visibility and comfort for players, officials and spectators. Musco’s expertise will help hockey venues deliver reliable, energy-efficient and world-leading illuminated playing conditions across the country.
“We are thrilled to welcome Musco Sports Lighting as a partner,” said HA Chief Executive Officer David Pryles.
“Having a world-class lighting partner on board will enable us to lift the standard of our facilities right across Australia – not just for our national teams, but for clubs, community venues and the grassroots.
“Better lighting means better training, better competition, more comfortable conditions for athletes and spectators, and greater opportunity for hockey to shine in more places.
“We look forward to working with Musco over the next three years to deliver real value for our sport and our stakeholders.”
“Our partnership with Hockey Australia builds on a longstanding, global commitment to providing safer and more enjoyable sports facilities for athletes of all ages and levels of play,” said Musco Sales Executive Sanjay Prakash.
“We appreciate HA’s commitment to high-quality lighting and are proud to serve as a trusted resource for venues across the country.”
Hockey Australia’s commercial program continues to go from strength to strength, with several major renewals and exciting new additions in 2025. Longstanding partners Kookaburra, APM, Hirudoid, and ASICS have reaffirmed their commitment to Australian hockey, while a wave of new partnerships — including Polytan, Sportscover, Australian Venue Co, PWG, Match Worn Shirt, Automatorr, BildGroup, and now Musco Sports Lighting — demonstrates growing confidence in the sport’s direction.
On behalf of Hockey Australia, this partnership marks a tangible investment in the built-environment of the sport and aligns with HA’s objective to ensure that hockey facilities across all levels are fit-for-purpose now and into the future.
