HOOKIN2HOCKEY
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AURORA ENERGY
What is Hookin2Hockey?
Hockey Tasmania's Hookin2Hockey program is an introductory competition and training based program designed for primary school aged children (5-12 years of age) who are ready to join up with a team and play hockey! They can learn the basics of hockey while having fun and getting involved in the club-based system in their region.
We are so excited to be partnering with Aurora Energy to make the Hookin2Hockey Program FREE for all participants! To read more about our partnership, check out our news release.
How to Participate
Our Hookin2Hockey Program runs over the course of multiple weeks, across multiple locations around Tasmania. If you're looking for a one-off session without the commitment to the entire Program, we also offer Come & Try Days periodically throughout the year across the state.
Below is a dropdown menu that explains how to sign up for Hookin2Hockey in your area. Please make sure you read the instuctions under "Player Registration," which will details the steps necessary to sign up and allow easy acces to our Hockey Tasmania Registration Portal.
