A special moment that perfectly captures what our club is all about. 💙🧡

Congratulations to two outstanding women of our club on their representative selections – Beatrice earning selection in the State Under 15 team and Jacqui selected for the Masters team.

The photo featured here was taken in 2024 when Beatrice made her senior debut, with Jacqui by her side, offering guidance, support and encouragement. Today, they celebrate representative honours together.

This image is a reminder that hockey is about more than just the game. It's about creating pathways, building confidence, sharing knowledge, and supporting the next generation. From junior development to Masters hockey, our club is proud to foster an environment where women inspire, mentor and empower one another.

Congratulations to both players on their achievements. We can't wait to see you represent Tasmania with pride! 🏑

Congratulations to our Annie Wicks on being featured in the Mercury this week! A wonderful recognition of her and the premier league women’s hard work and dedication!

We’re proud of your and the team’s efforts.

She charges straight at defensive penalty corners and isn’t afraid to take a hit. Meet 15-year-old Annabelle Wicks, the fearless teen who just scored Derwent’s most celebrated goal of the season.

Congratulations to this week’s Flippers Award recipient for demonstrating our Club value of **Connect**! 👏🏑

Connection is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s welcoming teammates, encouraging others, building friendships, or creating a positive environment both on and off the field, Immy and Will have shown what it means to be part of our hockey family.

Both Immy and Will stood out for their ability to bring people together, support those around them, and contribute to the strong team culture that makes our Club such a special place.

Well done on this well-deserved recognition. Thank you for helping us strengthen the connections that make our Club thrive. 💙🧡
