After the success of the International Ice Hockey tour between USA and Canada the Douglas Webber Group decided to take the portable ice floor to NZ cities that didn’t have ice rinks. With Hamilton and Wellington being the test cities the New Zealand City Tour proved a great success with 53,000 people flocking to both cities for the chance to show their talent on ice skates. DWG will now extend the City Tour to 7 New Zealand cities in 2012 with an expected 250,000 skaters. The portable ice rink can be set up in any location and takes 2-3 days to build and freeze down.

It contains 33,000 litres of water, 8,000 litres of Glycol and one 750kw chiller.

Party Hoppers is a New Zealand owned and operated company, founded by the Douglas Webber Group in January 2007, with a view to being franchised throughout New Zealand and Australia by the end of 2009.

Party Hoppers are the ultimate bar set-up, ideal for any occasion, providing a professional service, second to none, complete with everything you need for your event from beer, wine and spirits, to staff, licenses and security.

The bar comes complete with everything you need to impress your guests with an amazing line of drinks and cocktails, chilled to perfection in the commercial display chillers. The bar is plumbed with hot and cold water, and wired with a stereo system and LCD TV.

Success has come quickly to the company, partly due to established networks within the events industry but most significantly due to what is named the 'bar partnership scheme' which gives event promoters the ability to contract the bar out, freeing up time to focus on the main event, whilst maintaining a significant percentage of profit, far exceeding what's on offer from existing catering companies.

Whatever the event, Party Hoppers will give it the point of difference to be remembered. Anything from a public event of thousands, to corporate functions and private parties. Party Hoppers also make a great cost effective bar solution to weddings, and countless other special days.

Party Hoppers now cater for events across New Zealand, with franchisees spanning the country, and has also expanded into Australia, which is expected to have services available in all Australian States by 2010.

Ice Hockey is a sport we all know about, but that few have seen in New Zealand. Labeled the fastest team sport in the world, hockey attracted over 11 million spectators to a game in the USA alone in the 2008-2009 season, selling out stadiums in almost every town.

Christchurch based event management company Douglas Webber Group (DWG) has announced their successful bid to host games between USA and Canada in Auckland's Vector Arena 23rd July, Christchurch's CBS Canterbury Arena 30th July and Dunedin Ice Stadium 3rd August 2011.

The amount of the bid was undisclosed, but company director Craig Douglas said, “It's hard to grasp the enormity of these world class hockey countries (USA & Canada), which sell out stadiums of 20,000 people every night. For these players to be here in New Zealand is a massive privilege, and not a decision they've made financially, as much as to promote the sport down-under."

In the words of sportswriter Jimmy Cannon, "A puck is a hard rubber disc that hockey players strike when they can't hit one another." The infamous rivalry between these two nations won't be left at home when game night rolls around and let’s face it, some hard hitting action never goes astray!
