Canberra Chill is an Australian professional hockey club based in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. The club was established in 2019, and is one of 7 established to compete in Hockey Australia's new premier domestic competition, Hockey One.[1]

The club unifies both men and women under one name,[2] unlike the Australian Capital Territory's former representation in the Australian Hockey League as the Canberra Lakers (men) and Canberra Strikers (women).[3][4]

Canberra Chill will compete for the first time in the inaugural season of Hockey One, which will be contested from late September through to mid November 2019.

History

[edit]

Canberra Chill, along with six other teams, was founded on 17 April 2019 as part of Hockey Australia's development of hockey.[5]

The club uniform and colours are based around the ACT flag, comprising mainly yellow and blue.[6]

Home stadium

[edit]

Canberra Chill are based out of the National Hockey Centre in the Australian Capital Territory, and Australia's capital city, Canberra. The stadium has a capacity of approximately 2,000 spectators.[7]

Throughout the Hockey One league, Canberra Chill will play a number of home games at the stadium.[2]
