Hockey Australia[1] is an organisation that formed from the merger of the Australian Hockey Association and Women's Hockey Australia in 2000. It is the national body responsible for the promotion, development and administration of field hockey in Australia. Hockey Australia is a full member of the International Hockey Federation, and comprises the State and Territory associations.

History

The British Army has been credited with the spread of hockey throughout the world, but in Australia's case, the British Navy deserves the honours. In the late 1800s, Australia did not have a naval fleet of its own and relied upon the Royal Navy for the security of the coastline. The British Naval officers stationed in Australia taught the locals the game of hockey and laid the foundations for a sport which Australians have developed and mastered.[2]

National Teams

Hockey Australia is the governing body that oversees Australia's National Teams.

Tournaments

Hockey Australia organises National Tournaments, at various levels. These are as follows:

  • Australian Hockey League[3] 1991–Present (Men) 1993-Present (Women)
  • National Championships Last Run in 1993 (Women) 1994 (Men), Replaced by AHL
  • Under 21 National Championships
  • Under 18 National Championships
  • Under 15 National Championships
  • National Country Championships
  • Veterans National Championships
  • Indoor National Championships
  • Under 21 Indoor National Championships
  • Under 18 Indoor National Championships

In August 2015, Hockey Australia announced its Indoor Australian Championships will be held in Wollongong in 2016 and 2017. The three-week festival of indoor hockey will be played at the Illawarra Hockey Centre, in Wollongong. Championships will be played in Open, Under 15, Under 18 and the Under 21 categories, as well as a new Under 13 event, over the 23 days. This is the first time all Australian Indoor Championships are held in one venue.[4]

  • Open National Championships were discontinued after 1994, so for the early years of the AHL there was also a National Championships.
  • From 2010 onwards, Hockey Australia have not played a finals series in the U15 National Championships, so the winners were the teams ranked highest on the ladder after the round-robin competition.
  • The Under 13 National Championship was included as a full National Championship from 2011. Prior to this an invitational event was run and sanctioned by Hockey Australia, but did not hold National Championship status. Similarly to the U15 competition, there is no finals series and the Champion is the team ranked highest on the ladder at the conclusion of the competition.
