Molly Klix selected in Australian Country U21 Squad

Molly Klix selected in Australian Country U21 Squad

28th of September, 2022

Congratulations to Molly Klix, Altona’s Women’s Premier League Goalkeeper, who has been selected for the Australian U21 Country team and will compete in Indonesia in January. She was selected following her performance for the Victorian Country team at the National Country Challenge in Bunbury.

Original Article from the Ballarat Times – https://timesnewsgroup.com.au/ballarat/sport/molly-klix-hockey/

YOUNG goalkeeper Molly Klix has been selected for the 2022 Australian Country under-twenty-one hockey team.

The Ballarat High School year 12 student plays for Altona in the Victorian Premier League, remains a member of the Ducks Hockey Club, and has been part of the Hockey Victoria Under-18 Academy.

Recently competing for Victorian Country at the Australian Country Championships in Western Australia where her team placed third, Klix’ selection became public.

“When we were doing the medal ceremony, they announced the Australian under-21 country sides… and I was lucky enough to have my name called out on the under-21 women’s team,” she said.

“I wasn’t expecting it because I’m young, only 17, and have only played for a few years. I was very happy, but shocked.”

As part of that team, Klix will travel to Indonesia on a hockey tour in January of 2023, playing various national teams from across the world.

She first got into school hockey at BHS in 2018. Originally set to be a field player, her interest quickly shifted.

“I saw the person with all the gear on, and I thought, that looks pretty cool. I decided to try it out, I liked it, continued on with it, and here we are,” Klix said.

“I love the community around hockey. It’s very inclusive, and I enjoy the social and competitive sides to it.”

Former Ballarat High School students Kahlua Smart and Lachie Hansford are also involved in national-level hockey.

Smart will join Klix on the under-21 team, Hansford has made the men’s under-21 side, and Tammy Hansford is on the coaching team of the senior women’s squad.

Pride for all on show at hockey event

Pride for all on show at hockey event

5th of August, 2022

Thank you to everyone who came out on the weekend for the Altona Hockey Club Pride Cup!

It was a great event, with junior inclusion workshops during the week, all of our junior teams wearing the rainbow socks, and our Premier League teams taking on Footscray HC at home on Saturday in front of a great crowd.

The Pride Cup is about sport culture making LGBTI+ people feel safe, and the Altona, and the hockey community have well and truly embraced the round and the inclusive ideals.

The below article was originally posted in the Hobsons Bay Star Weekly – Pride for all on show at hockey event, by Matthew Sims.

Pride for all on show at hockey event

By Matthew Sims

All colours of the rainbow shone bright under a sunny day as part of Altona Hockey Club’s Pride Cup, which was held on Saturday, July 30 after a two-year delay.

Pride Cup is challenging homophobia and transphobia within sporting clubs by making them more welcoming for LGBTQIA+ fans, players and officials.

Club president Alex Tyrrell said the club had secured a grant from Hobsons Bay council to host the Pride Cup event in 2020 following its inaugural Pride Cup event in 2019.

However, he said that both of the 2020 and 2021 in-person events were cancelled.

“In 2021, we were able to hold online education sessions for our club members and community with online sessions with Kara Montoneri from the Pride Cup organisation and former Bulldogs player Lin Jong talking about mental health,” Mr Tyrrell said.

“So for this year, we were absolutely rapt to be able to hold it.”

In the lead up to the event, the club hosted inclusion sessions for its junior players as part of the Pride Cup: Empathy Series workshops.

The event’s games included a two-all draw between Altona Hockey Club and Footscray Hockey Club in the men’s Premier League match.

In the women’s Premier League game, Footscray scored two goals to Altona’s nil.

The umpires awarded Footscray’s Georgia Hopkins and Altona’s Lauren Winship with the Pride Round medals for best on-field.

Mr Tyrrell said the event was a success for all parties involved.

“It was our biggest crowd of the year, also being the Western Derby against Footscray, who also really supported the cause,” he said.

“We only made 50 T-shirts, but they all sold out on the day to members who were keen to show their support in the rainbow tee, and the playing groups and coaches all absolutely got behind it and love wearing the rainbow kits.”

AHC Strategic Project – Seeking Volunteers

Jul 22, 2022

AHC STRATEGIC PROJECT – SEEKING VOLUNTEERS

Are you interested in customer experience, sports development, graphic design, media, or research?

We are seeking volunteers wanting to learn, build, or offer their professional skills to join our new member pathways project. This is an exciting part of our club strategy to encourage and better support our members to participate in all aspects of our sport.

Through research and engagement with our current members, the project will create a range of tools to raise awareness of the opportunities and benefits of participation, build a strong foundation of confident and skilled club players and volunteers, and help improve our members’ experience.

Project volunteers may support a range of activities over the coming months including:

Member surveys and interviews
Local, national, and international research into sports development and pathways
Creation of tailored club pathways, management plans, and dashboards
Creation of promotional materials and media, including pathways information sheets, member profiles, and stories
Development of function and role descriptions to support the member pathways.

Tracey Drake, AHC board member and director of Hockey Victoria, is overseeing the project and is eager to work with a passionate and imaginative team to deliver the project by early 2023.

Enter your details below to volunteer or learn more about the project

Or… share your experience as a member of AHC.

If you don’t have the time to volunteer, keep an eye out for our project team who will look forward to seeking your feedback through a chat or quick survey around the club before the end of the season.
