The Altona Hockey Club Uniform

The new playing uniform has arrived!

The Altona Hockey Club playing uniform – modelled here by Premier League captains Bronte Kerley & Andrew Scanlon – is designed to be a modern, inclusive uniform for the whole club. The traditional Royal Blue and Gold of the AHC are prominent in the design, with additional features touching on our heritage.

The uniform features the same design across all Men’s & Women’s pieces, meaning that it can be worn interchangeably at the preference of the player.

Thank you all for your patience, it is now available for everyone who pre-ordered, the uniform shop will be open Thursday from 5.30pm – 8pm. Following the Women’s Premier League shirt presentation last week, the Men’s Premier League squad will be holding a shirt presentation on Thursday evening.

Our Premier League sides will be in the new uniform from this weekend, featuring our Premier Partner Werribee Steel, while the rest of the club has the option to wear either kit until the 2025 season.

Mark Brown at the Altona Hockey Club Indigenous Round

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate our Inaugural Indigenous Round this past weekend.

Thank you to Mark Brown from the Bunurong Land Council for the powerful Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, Aunty Maggie and Manny from the local Balit Gulyna group, and some of our own club members with Indigenous heritage, Barry Briggs, Shaz Briggs and Naish McDonald, who shared in the Yarning Circle, painted artwork and also led Acknowledgement of Country and Medal Presentations.

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate our Inaugural Indigenous Round this past weekend.
Thank you to Mark Brown from the Bunurong Land Council for the powerful Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, Aunty Maggie and Manny from the local Balit Gulyna group, and some of our own club members with Indigenous heritage, Barry Briggs, Shaz Briggs and Naish McDonald, who shared in the Yarning Circle, painted artwork and also led Acknowledgement of Country and Medal Presentations.

Our Premier League Squads all wore the Indigenous playing tops, with Hawthorn HC joining in an acknowledgement of country before each game, and medal ceremony post-game.

On the pitch, our Premier League men overcame a half-time deficit to win 5-1 thanks to four goals from Cooper Burns and one from Connar Otterbach, while Hawthorn HC were too good in WPL, running away in the last quarter to take the game 0-7.

Thank you to the generous donations of members, and the support of Hobsons Bay City Council, as well as the contribution of the Social & Inclusion committee and all of the playing groups for making the day possible.

We hope you enjoyed the day, and the start of our journey as a club to celebrating and recognising the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Altona Hockey Club Board Supports the Voice to Parliament

July 6, 2023

The Altona Hockey Club Board supports the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian Constitution through a Voice to Parliament.

Many Altona Hockey Club members have been undertaking work to recognise and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, history and culture, in the lead-up to Indigenous Round. The decision to support the Voice has come from this work, combined with our Club values to serve the community and provide an inclusive club for all people.

The Club wants to be clear, we are not instructing anyone on how to vote but rather state that as a Board, we believe supporting a First Nations Voice to Parliament is the right thing to do. We believe the upcoming referendum is an important moment in Australia’s history and encourage everyone to seek out the information they need to form their own views.

2022 Hookin2Hockey Come & Try Hockey

There is one major omission from our uniform that has been present for the whole life of the previous uniform – and that is of our Premier Partner Burbank. Their long-term sponsorship is finishing up next month after 12 years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for Burbank’s support over that time.

It has been an incredible partnership for the Altona Hockey Club to have one of the biggest builders in Australia as our partner and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank Burbank. and in particular Jarrod and Natasha Sanfilippo, for their support over this time.

The logo has been synonymous with our uniform since 2011, and of course if you are thinking of building a home at any stage make sure you get in contact with them.

Alex Tyrrell – President, Altona Hockey Club

What an amazing 12 years in partnership Burbank has had with Altona Hockey Club. Our family has been involved with Altona Hockey Club for many years, with both my brother Jarrod and l playing as juniors and seniors/masters. We are still proud to be a part of the club, watching the next generation grow both at Junior and Senior level.

At Burbank we have always strived to have a strong involvement with local sporting clubs, organisations and events that centre around community involvement and inclusion, as well as having fun.

Burbank will always be a part of the Altona Hockey Club. We thank you all for the 12 years partnership we have had and wish the teams playing in 2023 all the best.
