MENS
Welcome to the Men's Section
Our mission is to promote and develop hockey as an inclusive sport where people of all ages, levels, abilities and backgrounds can take up field hockey as a sport. Our Men’s section has teams that can cater for all skills and abilities. In the 2024 season we will be focusing on recruitment and solidifying the section as one. We would love to have you be a part of the start of the new look Hawthorn.
Men's Teams
In 2024 we will be fielding the following teams:
Premier League
Think you can play hockey a bit? We have a few blokes who can too. This is YOUR opportunity to cement a spot in an up and coming Premier League Team. Injected with some youth and the drive to find their new best, our PL team is one you will want to be part of.
Premier League Reserves
Still got lots to give? The youth of our Premier League Reserves is the perfect opportunity for you to share your knowledge, whilst still playing a competitive, high grade of hockey. Your wisdom will not be lost on this talented young group.
Pennant A
Don’t have the time to commit to two training nights per week but still have the competitive edge? Our Men’s Pennant A is the perfect place for you. Mixing old school talent with new age youth, it is the perfect for those young and old, who are looking for a great life/play balance.
Pennant D
Our Pennant D side is a great balance of social/competitive hockey. It’s the lights without the sirens team, where you can come and learn your essential hockey skills, but still have a laugh with your mates.
Pennant E
Our Pennant E side is a great balance of social/competitive hockey. It’s the lights without the sirens team, where you can come and learn your essential hockey skills, but still have a laugh with your mates.
Metro 1
A social side that gives, sons, dads and grandfathers an opportunity to play together. Great for beginners to play with
some old timers who know where to go, but don’t have the legs to take them there! Turning up to training occasionally, they may try to convince themselves they could still play in the Premier League, but are likely to pull a hammy and retire for the season…
Open - Monday nights
Too busy on the weekends to play, but still have the drive to play competitive sport? The Monday night Open Men’s team is just right for you. Train if you like, but keep your weekends for family and friends. The ‘midweek’ competition that starts off your week!!
