NEWCASTLE - A SEASIDE CITY WITH A RICH TRADITION IN HOCKEY
Novocastrians are quite proud of their sporting traditions with its unique diversity of national and international quality representatives - playing, coaching and administering. This quality has been, and continues to be very evident in hockey with numerous representatives since hockey commenced in the city in the 1930s. a small sample from our hockey hall of fame includes Colleen Quinn, Chris Fernance, Ray Wright, Paul Dearing, Stewart Dearing.
Hockey for veterans ( over 40) commenced in 1980 and Newcastle is now one of the strongest areas in Australia for Masters hockey, and apart from the year-round mid-week competition, we field multiple teams in all age groups in the NSW State Masters Championships (34, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70). Players from Newcastle make up a large part of the NSW teams that are selected to compete in the annual Australian Championships.
