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.
