Who we are..
MHC is a Queanbeyan-based field hockey club, with teams participating in all facets of the Hockey ACT local competition, including mixed Hookin2 Hockey, junior girl's and senior women's and men's competitions.
Most Junior girls and boys teams play on Saturday mornings on turf fields located in South Jerrabomberra and Canberra and depending on the number of teams in the competition some are played on Friday nights.
The Capital and State Leagues Men's games are played on Saturdays and women's on Sundays on turf fields at the MHC home ground at South Jerrabomberra, the National Hockey Centre, Lyneham and the Tuggeranong Hockey Park, Tuggeranong. MHC has four men's and two women's teams in this competition.
ACT Masters Hockey fosters hockey as a vigorous team based sport that can be enjoyed well into one's senior years; this age group commences at 34 years to a less defined focus on the upper-bound. MHC has two teams participating in this competition this year.
MHC also has teams competing in the summer twilight (mixed men and women).

Member Milestones
Service Honours
Service honours lapels were introduced at the club's 10th anniversary in 2009 to acknowledge members who have contributed enormous efforts and dedication towards the management of club affairs to ensuring that all members enjoy what they love most - hockey.
There are four levels of recognition; Bronze, Silver, Gold and Life. These are progressive and determined by each member's contribution to the club and the hockey community throughout the years.
In addition, honorary Life memberships may be awarded to members who have performed extraordinarily for the club prior to 2009 or in extenuating circumstances where Life members of amalgamating clubs are acknowledged.
Below are our club's honour role to date.
