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 now playing for 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!
