At the University Associates Women’s Hockey Club Inc, we are keen on playing hockey but less keen on training.

We started in 1987 as a single team of (mainly) former UWA Women’s Hockey Club players whose playing peak had passed. They wanted to still play hockey, didn’t want to occupy spots in teams that up-and-coming players could fill. The club culture initiated by that first team of ‘Soaks Women’ has endured. We remain the ‘go to’ club for female ex-Uni hockey players who wish to relax into the game and retain close links to UWAHC. Soaks Men provides the same option for males. This means UWAHC can remain a true student club while their ex-players can stay in the game and keep playing hockey into their dotage.

We have no formal selection or trial process.Our teams are self-sorted groups of friends with a bit of movement each year based on self-assessed fitness, ability and team needs. Each year, a few spots in our teams become available.

If you want to dust off your hockey stick and join us on the field – even if only as a ‘fill-in’ Social playing member – contact our secretary via unisoaks@gmail.com. Once a place for you in a team has been confirmed, use the Registration tab.
