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. 

Altona Hockey Club Senior Presentation Night

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.

Celebrating 90 Years of the Altona Hockey Club

15th May 2022

Thank you to everyone who attended our 90th Anniversary Function on Saturday the 30th of April and the Premier League games during the day, including the Ric Purser Cup.

It was a great evening with so many returning members, a special thank you to our panellists, Heather Harley, Kris Doerner, Carmel Brennan, Brian Smith, Ross Schubach, Lisa MacFarlane, Peter Byrne, Morris Burgess, Frank Ranger and host Caleb Scanlon for sharing some incredible stories from the 1950’s right through the decades to today.

There were many highlights, including the stories of the challenges faced by the early women’s teams and how they were overcome to form the club we are today, and the opposition players having to wave down the passing train from the middle of the tracks just to get a ride home when we played at the Pines and the old Williamstown Racecourse.

Pictured are the Life Members who attended the event, each who have contributed so much to the history of our club.

Founded in 1932, the Altona Hockey Club is celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2022.

Update to the Club Song to be more inclusive

18 September, 2021

The club is excited to announce that our club song has had a refresh.
Our club song no longer references binary genders – a small change that makes an enormous difference to our diverse community.
We appreciate everyone for taking part in the consultation period which included information to all club members, as well as consultation with Pride Cup and Hobsons Bay City Council.
The club song is a cherished part of the Altona Hockey Club and remains integral to our proud history.
Can’t wait to hear it sung after plenty of wins in 2022!

Hey look us over
Here at A.H.C.
We’re the blue and gold
In perfect harmony
Just pass the flag A’s
Just pass the shield
And watch out all you other teams
Whenever we take the field
And beware of our backline
And our forwards too
When the goalie runs out
The other teams are through
And we’re not short of a Premiership
When finals come around
We’re Altona Hockey Club
The Mighty Seagulls
Altona Hockey Club
