The Crusaders have received a chilling hand from Hockey New Zealand as they look to overcome the heat and humidity of Suva

The Crusaders are armed with several body temperature cooling mechanisms loaned by the Black Sticks, such as ice vests, yuyu bottles and slushy machines.

Hockey New Zealand's Nick Webb says options are important.
