MCC Hockey Section History

The Hockey Section of the Melbourne Cricket Club was formed in 1960 with two men’s teams entered in the 1961 Men’s Melbourne Winter Competition. The MCC women’s section was formed in 1989 with the bringing together of the Nunawading Hockey Club and McKinnon Hockey Club.

MCC Hockey is one of 13 sporting sections of the famous Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) – the other 12 sports being Cricket, Baseball, Squash, Tennis, Real Tennis, Lacrosse, Lawn Bowls, Target Shooting, Croquet, and Golf, Netball, and Australian Rules Football. All MCC Sections are proudly known as The Demons.
