Orara Valley Hockey Club originated in the beautiful Orara Valley over 50 years ago under the guidance of Kim Gould a local hockey enthusiast. Training was once on the famous "Axeman's Footy Field" dodging the cow pats and sprig marks. Thankfully these days, all training and games are at the one location at Coffs Harbour Hockey Complex.
We have a history of building longlasting friendships, encouragement of good sportsmanship, participation and a lifelong love of the game. We are one big hockey family.
Our Club offers hockey for all ages and welcomes players of all skill level and we encourage beginners of any age to join and give hockey ago.
In 2019, our Women's teams completed an amazing achievement of being crowned premiers in all three Women's divisions.
In 2020, our Women's Division 2 and Division 3 teams were both runners up.
In 2024, we will have players in Hook In 2 Hockey (4yrs-9yrs) and teams in 12s, 14s and 16s in the Junior Competition. In Senior, we will have teams in Women's Div2 & Div 3 and Men's Competition.
