Founded in March 2013, OB HC has started out as the new "kids" on the block who tend to make quite a noise within the Cape Town hockey scene.
After being officially voted into the Western Province Hockey Union, the club's first men's side have taken the M6 league by storm, gaining promotion within the first season. This is of no surprise as the quality present within our 20 man squad has made us a force to be reckoned with this season.
The squad is currently made up of Wynberg Boy's High School Old Boys, with a few SACS Old Boys here and there.
The club's goal is first and foremost to promote the involvement of Old Boys within hockey. It is a great feeling to pick up a stick again and go out to fight for promotion through the leagues with your old school mates.
We also place a big focus on youth development as we have introduced many young faces to the world of men's hockey. We share the common idea of becoming a well established hockey club by developing our own approach, a new-school approach as to how hockey clubs function and operate. We are by no means an old-school, rigid and unfashionable club. We aim to be extremely attractive and fun club off the turf, but devastating on it. View our constitution below for the detailed layout and functioning of the club.

Currently based at Hartleyvale, we have weekly training sessions on one of the best astro turfs in the region. However, we are still looking for a home to call our own as we are not officially based at any venue as of yet.
As time goes by, we aim to become a force to be reckoned with and plan to one day make our debut in the 1st division of Western Province Hockey whilst becoming a well-known and attractive club to be involved with as we try to establish our own brand of hockey whilst generating a niche within the hockey world.
With the drive and determination of our staff and players, it is safe to say - Watch This Space!!
