as a sport, hockey is one of a few that is able to offer full family participation, with teams for men, women, boys and girls and open to all age groups from minkey through to open age and veteran players.
 

the upper hunter hockey association has a strong family focus that encourages participation at all levels of endeavour whether it be playing hockey, organizing activities or enjoying each other's company.
 

 the club also works extremely hard in ensuring that our junior players are nurtured and encouraged to make the transition to senior hockey, and are extremely proud of our "home grown" players in our senior ranks.
 

to further develop members, the club provides guidance and tuition within umpiring and coaching roles.  these opportunities build leadership, responsibility, trust and commitment within our ranks.  this club is proud of its history in producing representative players, coaches and administrators.
