The Wangaratta Hockey Club turned 115 years old in 2022. The committee is really excited by the future of hockey in Wangaratta. We have seen a lot of positive changes to the club in recent times. The most significant change has been the access to a synthetic pitch in 2021. This has meant the club no longer plays on grass fields and can now develop our skills and compete extremely well against other clubs in the associated.
The committee have a plan to to continue to develop the club into the future, including getting lights at the field so we can train and play games at night. We have a strong juniors program to grow the club at the grass roots into the future and have even had success at the senior level with the Division 3 Women’s getting into the grand final in 2022, which was an outstanding achievement and a real sign of the strength and potential of the club.
