Jericho Housiaux who plays canoe polo for Nga Kiore Wai.
In the words of Cam Butler, Manager of Polo Mania, "Nga Kiore Wai (Water Rats) have twice won the Div 1 Intermediate competition in Palmerston North, won the gold medal for the New Zealand Canoe Polo D Grade National League competition and won the bronze medal at the recent New Zealand Club Champs in October. Jericho is an integral part of Nga Kiore Wai and is always keen to play more canoe polo to improve his skills. Outside of canoe polo Jericho has also competed at canoe slalom and flat water sprint kayaking at AIMS games where he has given his all.
Great work Jericho!"
