About CHC

Canterbury Hockey Club was founded in November 1901. The only details available are those provided in an article from The Kentish Gazette of 9th November 1901 and which are reproduced below:

"Hockey. At a well-attended meeting held on Friday night at the Foresters' Hall, of gentleman interested in the game of hockey, it was resolved that a club should be formed to be known as the Canterbury Hockey Club."

Whilst no Canterbury Ladies H.C. is known of in 1901, a report in The Kentish Gazette in December of that year did provide team lists for the 1-1 drawn ladies match between Town and Country played at Loo Down.

For the Junior section, the story begins in 1977, the season following the club's 75th anniversary, when a few club members began to realise that the future success of the Club would be greatly advanced by helping young players to develop their skills, particularly those children who were not at hockey-playing schools and for whom club coaching was the only way into the game.
