John Christopher (Jack) Tynan Death | John Christopher (Jack) Tynan Obituary – John Christopher (Jack) Tynan, New Zealand Field Hockey player passed away at the age of 94. John Christopher (Jack) Tynan died on the 23rd of August 2020. He was a champion sprinter for the Karori Athletic Club with a time of 10.2 seconds for 100 yards. Jack made his senior debut for Karori in 1943 as a 17-year-old and played premier and representative hockey for 15 years. In that time Karori won the Wellington championship eight times and finished second six times.
According to Lost Olympians (@LostOlympians), the Wellington teams he coached and captained through the 1950’s were very well prepared, winning the Challenge Shield in 1952 and 1953. Internationally, over this period his Wellington team drew with Australia in 1952 (0-0) and lost narrowly to the Indian Wanderers 1-2 in 1955. He became the New Zealand Hockey player of the 1950’s. He represented New Zealand at the 1956 Melbourne Summer Games, where New Zealand finished in 6th position. Reports says coaching remained a passion for a busy Jack and he coached Wellington teams until the early 1960’s, with a 2-2 draw in 1961 against All India and again in the Challenge Shield Tournament 1969 (2nd) and 1970 (lost semifinal). His achievements were recognised by his induction as a Legend of Wellington Sport in 2007. We extend our condolences.
