Play hockey – the family sport – at Norths Eagles

Hockey is a sport for the whole family. The Neocleous family is proof of that.

Barry Neocleous started playing hockey as a young man in England and has been a member of Norths Hockey Club at Ashgrove for almost 20 years.

His eldest son Lewis started with Norths Eagles in his early primary school years, while younger brother Callum began playing hockey “as soon as I could”.

Motivated by watching her sons and husband play, mum Rebecca finally picked up a hockey stick last year and thoroughly enjoyed her first season playing the sport.

She is part of a growing trend of ‘hockey parents’ who, after years watching from the sideline, have been inspired to take up hockey at Norths.

Based at Dorrington Park, the social, inclusive and family-oriented club has teams for men, women, boys and girls of all ages and skill levels, including beginners and returning players.

Eagles members – aged from five to 72 years –play hockey in a friendly atmosphere and with competitive spirit.

Norths is the only Brisbane hockey club with its own grass fields, artificial turf practice pitch, 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 Eagles team for you.

Norths will hold its signon day for the 2023 season at Dorrington Park, Mirrabooka Road, Ashgrove on Saturday February 4 from 10am to 2pm.
