Hockey in Australia has entered a new dawn with the launch of LIVEHockey – a dedicated home for LIVE streaming of national and state/territory hockey events.
Earlier this week the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing, The Hon Corey Wingard MP, confirmed funding for pitch and stadium upgrades at Mate Stadium (State Hockey Centre) in Gepps Cross. The announcement is welcomed by Hockey SA and will provide greater opportunities for the Hockey community.
18 year old Queenslander Claire Colwill, South Australian defender Hattie Shand and lively Western Australian attacker Shanea Tonkin are new additions in a 22-player Hockeyroos squad for 2022 announced by Head Coach Katrina Powell.
“Hattie is a highly competitive and skilful defender who has great physical capability.” Powell said.
Hattie joins fellow South Australian, Jane Claxton in the squad who has played 193 games for the Hockeyroos.
Our Umpire Development Pathway to be implemented heading into the 2022 Winter Season. This pathway recognises the importance that officials play in maintaining strong competitions and the sport.
Please join us in welcoming Scott Patching to Hockey SA as Operations Manager.

It is with great pleasure that Hockey SA advise that after a very robust and competitive recruitment process, Geoff Riddle has been appointed as Hockey SA’s new Chief Executive Officer.
Firstly, a special thank you to all our players, coaches, volunteers, and officials, for making it through the interrupted home and away season.
We are excited to confirm the finals schedule for the 2021 Metropolitan Season. Congratulations to all teams playing in the finals series and may the games showcase the spirit of Hockey in SA.
This year’s event will be held online, and we encourage you and your clubs to hold an event at your local facilities to bring your club together to celebrate the award winners.
