Northern Suburbs Hockey Club

Play hockey – a sport for the whole family

Not only did Adam Day find fun, fitness and new friends at Northern Suburbs Hockey Club, he also found his future wife there.

Adam is excited to tackle his 20th season of hockey with Norths in 2022 and share experiences at the Ashgrovebased club with his wife, Tanya.

“I like the supportive community-minded attitude of the club and how it provides a great, fun atmosphere in which to get some exercise,” Adam says.

Adam plays hockey alongside his adult son, with his teenage daughter also at Norths. He says hockey is for the whole family including parents who take up the sport after being inspired by their children.

“We have so many members that have taken up hockey in their 40s with great success due to the great support from experienced players, just like the club does for our juniors,” Adam says.

Norths is a social, inclusive and family-oriented club where people of all ages and experience can play in a friendly atmosphere and with competitive spirit. Tanya says Norths has teams for girls, boys, men and women from Under 7 to Masters age, for social and elite-level players.

“It’s great that everyone can play hockey at all ages to keep fit, engaged in the community and have fun,” she says. “There is a team to suit all ages, fitness and skill group. That’s the amazing thing about hockey – you can play from the age of five to 85.”

Norths is the only Brisbane hockey club with its own artificial turf practice pitch, grass fields and clubhouse, with a bar and canteen facilities for social functions.

Whether you are interested in a social sporting experience or the competition of high-level hockey, there is a Norths team for you.

Norths will hold its signon day for new and returning players at Dorrington Park, Mirrabooka Road, Ashgrove on Saturday February 5 from 10am to 2pm.
