Karori Hockey Club is Aotearoa’s second oldest hockey club.

Established in 1899, we have a rich history of producing top-quality players, with one of our life members, Jack Tynan captaining the New Zealand men to their first Olympics in 1956, along with Karori-affiliated players who are now playing for New Zealand in the Black Sticks and New Zealand Masters teams.

Our ambition is to foster a club culture that encourages growth and development, social engagement, and ensuring we’re having fun doing what we love - playing hockey!
