Biography edit

Whitelock was born in Palmerston North, and is of Rangitāne descent.[6] She married Crusaders rugby player George Whitelock in December 2013.[7]

Whitelock took up hockey at the age of seven, as her school only played hockey, not her preferred sport, netball.[5]

In the 2020 Queen's Birthday Honours, Whitelock was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to hockey.[8]
