ROCKHAMPTON INDOOR HOCKEY ASSOCAITION INC
Indoor Hockey first began in Rockhampton in 1978 when fixtures were played on a concrete surface at the Skating Rink. For this inaugural season only, social fixtures were played and the game was enjoyed by young and old.
The sport became so popular that in the following season competitive fixtures commenced. The beginning of the 1979 season also saw a change of venues from the Skating Rink to the Present Police Citizen Youth Club Hall Stapleton Park North Rockhampton - it was played there up until December 1986.
Unfortunately due to the PCYC catering for many varied sports we were only able to obtain Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons/evenings for our fixtures. We are sure that if more time was available we would have had more teams playing Indoor Hockey than the 16 teams in the Women's and 13 teams in the Men's in 1985.
From 1986 until the present day Rockhampton Indoor Hockey has been played at YWCA Hall North Rockhampton. During this time we played a Season at the North Rockhampton State High School assembly hall.
Rockhampton Indoor Hockey is proud of the fact that we have sent teams to every state titles - (now team challenges) since the inception of the Queensland Indoor Hockey - (Now Hockey Queensland) Championships.
Rockhampton Indoor Hockey has had several of its representatives selected for Queensland teams and have gone on to be selected in Australian Indoor Teams.
In the year of our 30th Anniversary we are proud to have 23 teams competing in the 2009 Season.
