By 30 April 287 members had registered and paid online. Men's and Women's 1st grade teams seem to be the black spot for payments, and Masters are storming through as the good guys with almost every player now paid up. If you have any questions, please contact: Men’s VP - Ian Maniac McMaster: menshockey@suhc.asn.au, Women’s VP - Trish Ramrakha: womenshockey@suhc.asn.au , Masters VP - Peter Pether: masters@suhc.asn.au and Juniors VP - Kate Price : juniorhockey@suhc.asn.au

Many players see the costs and wonder where their fees go. It's a good question. The answer is that in 2013 team costs for SHA (for example) run to around $310 per senior player (includes game time and some umpires for the season), and costs for training are around $10 per week per senior player (say $200 a year). Our fees also cover SUSF fees ($60) and HNSW fees ($100). Already that means our costs per player are some $670- and that is BEFORE we add our costs for coaches, balls, trophies etc.

In short - do not complain: your fees don't even cover your costs! 

We survive because we have some great sponsors (Just Hockey, the AB, SUSF and others). They are absolutely vital to us. We also survive because we receive a small income on uniform sales, and because we try to limit our losses by making sure all functions and events cover their costs.

If we had a turf the training costs would be less and we'd have some canteen and hiring income -  but we's also have some operating costs and potentially interest expense, and we'd need to set aside some of our income for repairs and maintenance. It would be better, but not perfect. Goodness knows how other clubs survive when they haven't got sponsors like ours.

Feedback is always welcome, especially when it is like this (from a Masters player). "Mate, how good is our website these days. Just paid fees and it was (so easy). Someone is doing a great job".

Juniors

JUNIORS CAN ALSO REGISTER ONLINE - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR 2013.

Our junior girls and boys train at Ryde on Mondays from 5-6:30pm. They can train in normal athletic clothing and do not need uniforms until the competition starts in late March. Even for training, though, all juniors must wear a mouthguard and shinpads at all times on the field. This equipment can be obtained in numerous places, but we recommend going to our valued partner, Just Hockey, becasue they ptovide discounts for our juniors. Juniors' starter kits cost from $35. Just Hockey will also provide all the right fitting advice.

SUHC uniforms (Shirts, Shorts, Skorts, Socks) are available from Just Hockey at the Olympic pitch at Homebush. Visit www.justhockey.com.au to see their opening hours.

Women's 1sts Win 2012 Grand Final

Our Women's 1sts won the 2012 Grand Final 3-1. It crowned a great season as Sydney's (if not NSW's) best women's hockey team. The Minor Premiers lead 2-0 at half time and outclassed Briars all the ways. Thanks to the crowd of SUHC supporters, and congratulations to the team. There are photos in the Gallery (including a selection of Tom Whitaker's great photos), a match report on the Women's page and a report on the SUSF site .
