About Hockey NSW
History
Hockey in New South Wales was established in the early 1900's with the New South Wales Men's Hockey Association being formed in 1906, the New South Wales Women's Hockey Association being formed in 1908 and the New South Wales Junior Hockey Association in 1960.
In November 2002 the New South Wales Junior Hockey Association amalgamated with the NSW Men's Hockey Association. November 2004 saw the amalgamation of the NSWHA and NSWWHA to form a single entity of hockey administration in New South Wales, namely Hockey NSW.
Today, over 27,000 members participate in organised hockey competitions across the state. With 57 affiliated associations, Hockey NSW can lay claim to being the largest hockey playing state or territory in Australia.
This large membership base has contributed to an enviable record at Australian Championships in both forms of the game; field and indoor. Coupled with a high representation in Australian Squads and Teams which dates back over 80 years, Hockey NSW is proud of the history and traditions that have been created over a 100 year period.
