History of the Tigers
The Tigers Hockey Club is one of the founding Darwin hockey clubs, and has come a long way since 1949 when we were the Works and Housing Hockey Club competing in men's hockey competition with only one team.
1949 - Works and Housing Hockey Club (Men's)
1953 - Comworks (Women's)
1965 - Nightcliff Hockey Club (Men's, Women's)
early 1980's - Darwin Hockey competition moved from the Gardens oval to the Alawa hockey oval on Lakeside Drive.
1986 - Darwin Hockey competition moved from Alawa to the artifical turf fields at Marrara Hockey Centre.
1992 - University Tigers Hockey Club
2003 - Nightcliff University Tigers Hockey Club
The name of our club may of changed over the years but the Tigers Hockey Club has a strong history of survival, weathering some tough times. One thing is for sure, the culture of social enjoyment established by the foundation sides still remains a strong part of today's club.
