Accessibility Statement
Hockey is for everyone — this website should be too.
Unofficial Placeholder Site
This is a fan-made website. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Dunedin Thunder, the Dunedin Ice Hockey Association, or the New Zealand Ice Hockey League, and it does not claim to represent the team in any capacity.
If I have used your image or media without consent, please don't be mad, I just needed content to build this placeholder website for the team. Please find my contact details in the footer.
Our commitment
We want every fan to be able to follow the Thunder. This site is built with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA as its target.
What we've built in
- Full keyboard navigation, with visible focus outlines on every interactive element.
- Reduced motion support — if your device asks for reduced motion, all animation is disabled and content appears immediately.
- Escape closes overlays like the photo viewer and the mobile menu, returning focus where you left off.
- Descriptive alternative text on images, and text labels alongside colour-coded information (like W/L results).
- High-contrast text on dark backgrounds throughout, and tables that scroll rather than break on small screens.
- Content that works at mobile sizes with no horizontal scrolling.
Known limitations
Game streams, replays and highlights play on YouTube, and detailed statistics link to nzihl.com — the accessibility of those experiences is governed by those platforms.
Feedback
If anything on this site is hard to use with your assistive technology, we genuinely want to know. Contact Liam using the details in the site footer and we'll work on it.
