About Us

Masters hockey in Australia is coordinated by Hockey Australia Masters Committee (HAMC), which is a subcommittee of Hockey Australia.
The main purpose of the HAMC is to provide effective governance for masters hockey and to recognise and advance the social and health aspects inherent in hockey at masters level. The tenets of HAMC are participation, performance, passion and partnerships.

HAMC working with Hockey Australia is responsible for running successful national championships, sourcing international competition and ensuring the best teams are selected to represent Australia.

HAMC:
Hockey Australia Masters Committee is tasked by Hockey Australia to deliver One Masters hockey opportunities for players to be involved in community to elite level competitions for players aged 34+ across Australia and at World Masters level. One Masters also provides officiating opportunities for Umpires and Technical Officials. The officiating pathways include interstate and overseas travel for those who are appropriately skilled and qualified.

One Masters:
One Masters hockey culture takes into account the uniqueness of our game with its gender balance and inclusive, family friendly sub culture, built on friendships that encourage, guide and retain high numbers of participants.

Masters Hockey is seen as a continuation of the playing and/or officiating journey and builds on the tenets of passion, participation, performance and partnerships.

There are currently seven members of HAMC: Chair, Finance, Admin & Communications, Convenor Events & Officiating Pillar Group, National Teams Pillar Group, Commercial & Growth Pillar Group, and Member Association (MA) CEO Representative.

MA Delegates:
Each Member Association annually endorses a Men’s and Women’s Delegate to provide a point of contact for masters communications in their member associations. Important masters communication from HAMC is shared through Delegates regularly.

Delegates will meet together with HAMC at least annually to exchange views and information including masters strategic initiatives, operations and regional topics.
