Formation of Labrador Tigerstix Brisbane Women’s Hockey Premier League 1 team in 2025

It is with enormous excitement that we announce the formation of a Labrador Tigerstix Brisbane Women’s Hockey Premier League 1 team for 2025.  

Club President, Andrew Proctor said “This is the culmination of many years of work by many people to provide pathways for our women, similar to those available to our men with BHL.  We thank the BWHA board for allowing us to make this inaugural team in BWHA a reality.” 

Plans for player selection and recruitment are underway and coaches are already in place for both the BWHA PL team and the GC Div 1 women’s team. 

It’s going to be a huge year for the #stix women. 

More info coming soon…

BHL 2 Semi Final Wrap Up

BHL 2 ended their 2024 season on August 17 at Redcliffe HC. After achieving 5th place in the strong 10 team competition, they qualified for the knockout semifinal. BHL 2 was narrowly defeated by Northern Suburbs HC, 3 goals to 2. Labrador dominated periods of this semifinal but were unable to convert our superior attacking circle penetrations and penalty corner advantage into goals. Norths goalkeeper also saved a penalty stroke in the 4th quarter to deny the Stix a draw. Congratulations to Hudson Keeble for being voted Best on Ground.  

The 2s have enjoyed a rewarding season competing in what turned out to be one of the strongest BHL 2 competitions in recent years. Many of the team achieved State representative honours throughout the year Under 16 to Masters. The team looks to improve even further in 2025 representing LHC.
