Tracey Drake elected Chair of Hockey Victoria

May 10th, 2024

Tracey has been Vice Chair since 2020 and a member of the HV Board for 12 years. At Altona Tracey was a long-time State League 1 player, and Board Member for 20 years prior to stepping down in 2022. She is the current Women’s Pennant C playing coach – and has had a big impact on that group in her recent return to playing – and the Chair of Selectors for Women’s Premier League.

Anyone who has spent any time with Tracey will be confident that she can have a big impact and bring a large amount of expertise to the role. It is one of the most pivotal positions for hockey in Victoria and Australia, and from all at the Altona Hockey Club, we wish Tracey well in the role.

Our New Scoreboard Thanks to the Westgate Tunnel Project

May 5th, 2024

The new AHC Scoreboard is officially open!

Yesterday we were joined by Melissa Horne MP, our local sitting Member in the State Government, and the Mayor of Hobons Hobsons Bay City Council, Councillor Matt Tyler for the official opening.
The scoreboard itself was funded by the Westgate Tunnel Project and the project took place with the help of our sponsors

Burlin Electrical and Mechanical Services who took care of all electrical work (Ben Burriss pictured) & Werribee Steel who built and installed the frame (Marco de Muri pictured). Thank you to everyone involved.

It was also a great day on the pitch with the Women’s Premier League running over the top of St. Kilda/Powerhouse to win 5-0, and the Men’s Premier League holding out reigning premiers MCC to win 3-0 and sitting clear on top of the ladder after four rounds. The games continue today with Men’s Metro, Men’s Pennant D and Women’s Pennant C all at home.

2024 Australian Development Squad and 2023 Junior World Cup

January 12th, 2024

A huge congratulations to both Cooper Burns and Connar Otterbach who have been selected in the Hockey Australia National Men’s Development Squad for 2024!

The squad consists of 19 players, who are considered the best talent in the country outside of the Kookaburras squad. In the announcement of the Kookaburras squad for 2024, Colin Batch has stated that if required he will select from the Development Squad for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Connar retains his spot in the squad from 2023 with his strong performance for HC Melbourne, while Cooper has been named in the squad for the first time, following on from his performance at the Junior World Cup and with HC Melbourne.

It is not only a great achievement, but a huge opportunity for both players to train with the best in the country and some of the best players in the world at various stages during an Olympic year and continue to improve their hockey.

Nye Roberts & Cooper Burns at the 2023 Junior World Cup

January 12th, 2024

Well done to Nye Roberts and Cooper Burns who have helped the Australian U21 Burras to a 6th place finish at the Junior World Cup.

They finished the tournament with a narrow 2-1 lose to the Dutch to finish in 6th place, and while they would have loved to finish higher up the rankings, it was an incredible tournament – they narrowly lost the quarter final to eventual finalists the French, and playing the Dutch in the 5 v 6 playoff points to the strength of the tournament. The Australians had a travelling entourage in Malaysia and it was great to see some faces familiar to the AHC in the crowd.

Pictured: Nye and Cooper on the ball, and the 4 Victorians in the Australian team – Liam Henderson, Craig Marais, Cooper Burns and Nye Roberts.

Both players had extremely strong tournaments, if you missed any of the games, they are worth catching up to see the boys performances and some great hockey on: https://watch.hockey/

Premier League Coaching in 2024

Premier League Coaching in 2024

December 12th, 2023

The Altona Hockey Club board is delighted to announce that our 2024 Women’s Premier League Coach will be Danielle Schubach, assisted by Stephanie Young, and our 2024 Men’s Premier League Coach is Greg Drake.

It is fantastic to have Greg returning to Premier League coaching, Many of you will already know Greg well, but for those who do not, a sample of his CV below speaks for itself, and we can’t wait to see what he can achieve with the Men’s Squad.

Greg played 250 State League 1 (PL) games for Altona, playing a key role in our two Premierships and was a Victorian senior side squad member. He has coached our MPL side before, over 10 years ago, and more recently the WPL side. In the time since last coaching MPL, he has coached the Victorian U21s, has won the Australian Hockey League (the predecessor to Hockey One) as a coach of the Victorian Vipers, before moving to coach International hockey as assistant for the Canadian Women, Japan Women, and USA women before also taking over as head coach for Pro-League of the USA Women – and of course taking out the 2023 Women’s Pennant D Premiership as coach.

He will also continue in his role of AHC Club Coach Developer, helping to develop and support our club coaches.

Greg will be supported by Ian Bartlett who is stepping into the Reserves coaching role. Ian is the Premier League games record holder at Altona with 336 games and will bring a wealth of hockey knowledge to the squad.

Danielle and Steph had a great first year coaching the women, finishing the season just outside of finals in 9th place, a marked improvement on the 2022 season result in a highly competitive year. The feedback from the players was overwhelmingly positive and spoke volumes to the work and expertise that Danni and Steph bring to the squad.
