Hawthorn Hockey Club

Mike Ryan

Hawthorn Hockey Club Veterans has 8 Masters teams in 2012 (6 Men and 2 Women’s) and is continuing to grow each year. We have had premierships in both D & E grade mens in 2011. IMNSHO, A Grade is very much like SL1, just slower and played by old blokes! It is played each Monday night from April to October and we always have a place for a player regardless of skills or fitness.

We need approximately 15 players to support each team. We need to allow for the niggling injuries and work commitments that come with being around 40. Currently we are looking for additional numbers so if you are interested in playing with us, we are more than willing to show you how to play or reintroduce you to the game.

Hawthorn is a very social club and whilst important to be competitive it is done so in a good spirit with much making of new friends, drinking of beer and wine and socialising is always a priority.

Interested in playing?

With this many teams in the men’s and women’s divisions, there are plenty of opportunities for players of all skill levels. Players of all standards are welcomed and encouraged to play in the veterans teams.

This year, we are allowed 3 x Age Permit players (35 or over) in each team.

Match Times

The playing times have not changed for 2012: still a fixture of home and away games on Mondays at 7, 8 or 9pm.
Round 1 was on 16 April, 2012 - we did not lose a game that round !

Training

Training for Men is on Wednesdays: 8:30-10pm on H-2
