About Cardinia Storm Hockey Club
Cardinia Storm Hockey Club (CSHC) was established in 2023 by a vibrant group of young women who love sport and share a passion for hockey.
As the first recognised hockey club within the Cardinia Shire, we strive to provide opportunities for everyone within our community to participate in healthy, safe, and inclusive hockey activities in a fun and family oriented environment.
The club is managed by dedicated volunteer staff, all of whom tirelessly provide their skills, time, and assistance to ensure the club can offer a variety of structured programs.
Cardinia Storm Hockey Club is a positive, team-oriented sporting community, inclusive of all ages and abilities.
Although a newly established club, many of our members come with 30+ years of hockey experience, including a premiership flag from the 2022 season.
We currently have one women’s team entered into the Pennant D South East competition with Hockey Victoria, and are looking to enter additional teams into mixed and/or women's competitions in the summer. We are also looking for new senior members to join us for the 2024 winter season.
Our junior development programs kick started in term 2 with hookin2hockey. A new hookin2hockey program has commenced for term 3, and we have additionally entered an under 10s team and an under 12s team into Hockey Victoria competitions. These programs provide an opportunity for local youth to participate in organised sports and build their skills in a positive, team oriented environment and share our love of hockey.
