Altona Hockey Club Men's Premier League side

Congratulations to our Men’s Premier League squad, Coach Greg Drake and all off-field staff, who have secured the Minor Premiership with a big 7-1 win against Essendon today.

It is the first time since 1994 that Altona have finished top of the table for the top competition in Victoria (at that time known as State League 1), and just the 3rd time in our history along with 1987.

The men currently hold an 8-point lead heading into the final round of the season. It means they have earned the first week off in the finals series and will go straight into a Preliminary Final at the State Hockey Centre on Saturday the 7th of September.

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

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.

2023 Altona Hockey Club Annual Report

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.

2023 Altona Hockey Club Annual Report

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.

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.

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.

Altona Hockey Club Women's Premier League

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.
