Player movements edit

In January 2009, Amigene Metcalfe announced her retirement.[6] In March 2009, Joline Henry and Irene van Dyk were named as co-captains.[1] Leana de Bruin returned to Magic after a season with Northern Mystics, while Frances Solia transferred from Central Pulse. The all-international-level starting line-up drew concerns regarding the uneven distribution of top players among New Zealand franchises and allegations of salary cap breaches.[7][8][9]
