about us...


Hi and welcome to the Hornby Hockey Club website!

Our Club is located in the Hornby suburb of Christchurch at the southern end of town and not only draws most of its players from Hornby but also serves a large rural surrounding area.
Playing membership in 2009 exceeded 350 and we are looking forward to another increase in 2010.

Turf Practise Facility

We are the closest club to Lincoln University and handy to Canterbury University and the Christchurch College of Education and as a consequence have a number of tertiary students playing for us as well as players from many other parts of town.

Our club rooms are located at Hornby Domain alongside a grass field on the Main South Road just south of Hornby Mall. and we operate a half turf practice facility at Wycola Park (Hei Hei) about a kilometer away. (One of only two clubs in town to have their own.)

Womens First Grade

2009 saw us enter 32 teams in local Canterbury competitions. For women, 1 team in each grade from Division 1 to Division 4 and two teams in both the Mid Week and Youth Grades plus 2 grass grade social sides. For men, a team in Divivions 2, 3 and 4, 2 Mid Week teams and 1 Youth grade Primary School age teams make up the balance. In 2009 fifteen teams were entered in various school age grades ranging from mini players [5 and 6 year olds] to year 8 students.

Hornby also supplied many players to various Canterbury representative teams at all levels, a total of 22 players in 2009 playing in teams ranging from junior development squads to the Canterbury Cats.

Hornby prides itself in catering for all levels of hockey ability and has a large team of volunteers involved as coaches and managers in all grades (junior through premier).

Club colors are Black and Gold. The club playing shirt is hired out at $10 per season but players are required to provide skirts / shorts and socks which are readily available although a number of teams have arranged sponsorship to cover these items.
