Join us to celebrate season 2023. 6pm until late at SOPO. Cocktail wear
Catch up with your team mates and club friends, discuss the year that was and make plans for the year to come!

There’s a new summer social hockey format in town!
For those who had a chance to try Hockey5’s during the Oceania World Cup qualifiers, you know this is going to be FUN!
A fast-paced, five-a-side, quarter-pitch hockey with rebounding boards (no outs!) and goals can be scored from anywhere.
The inaugural GCHA Hockey 5s competition will run for a 10 week season commencing Tuesday 3rd October.
This will align with the general schooling term with games commencing from 5:30pm.
The competitions are either single gendered or mixed – with mixed requiring a minimum of 2 female players on the pitch at all times during play (or a maximum of 3 males, whichever way you want to look at it) for a maximum of 5 players on the pitch at any given time.
Competition is being run by Gold Coast Hockey Association and is not a club-run competition. It is a social comp and players are encouraged to form their own teams, team names and uniforms etc. A great opportunity to get your mates involved in hockey!
You can read the Hockey5’s rules in the document link below.
Team registrations will close 20th September 2023.
The fees to enter a team into the Hockey5’s compeition is $750. (This is per TEAM, not per player).
Teams must make payment of all fee instalments by the required due dates as follows:
1st Instalment 20th September $250
2nd Instalment 12th October $250
3rd Instalment 2nd November $250
If you have any questions about Hockey5’s or creating a team, please contact Sandy at Gold Coast Hockey Association on admin@goldcoasthockey.com
Gold Coast Hockey Association can also assist players to source teams. However, we have also set up a Hockey5’s – Summer Hockey Facebook Group for players to connect and source teammates which all players are welcome to join (not just Labrador Players).

As a club we are very excited to be stepping out to play this weekend in the new Labrador Tigerstix playing strip which returns to Labrador’s original yellow and black (photos coming soon!). All players are expected to be attired as follows:
Girls and Women:
Boys and Men:
Players may choose to wear undergarments such as activewear under their shirts, shorts, skirts or skorts. This is acceptable for all players, male or female, at all levels of hockey, provided that the undergarments are plain black and are worn under skirts/skorts/shorts and socks.
Feedback on additional uniform items will be considered for 2023 season options.
This is our first year of the new uniform and we have completed the design and ordering process and kitted out some 275 players from 8 year olds to 67 year olds all with volunteer labour.
We think we’ve met our goal for a design for the club to look smart and sporty with the support of our corporate partners SOPO. Any additional feedback or uniform suggestions can be provided to our club secretary, secretary@labradorhockey.org.au.
