HC Melbourne set for a huge opening round of Hockey One

The Sultana Bran Hockey One League makes its long-awaited return to the Australian sport scene with a highly anticipated double header this Thursday night to kick off the 2022 season.

Hockey Club Melbourne and NSW Pride will go toe to toe in a men’s and women’s double header to open Season 2 at the Melbourne Sports Centres – Parkville.

Featuring an abundance of stars from the world number one ranked Kookaburras and the Hockeyroos plus some quality international recruits, the second season of the Hockey One League is a mouth-watering prospect for Australian sports fans.

Teams for Round 1 have been released. 

 

Tickets to all Sultana Bran Hockey One matches and franchise memberships are available now through Ticketek.

Every match of the Sultana Bran Hockey One League 2022 Season will be LIVE on Kayo. Thursday night double headers from Rounds 1-4 will also be LIVE on FOX Sports available through Foxtel.

The league will also be shown LIVE on Sky Sport New Zealand.

This year’s second season of the Sultana Bran Hockey One League is a ‘re-launch’ of the competition after it was not held over the past two years because of COVID.

Recently returned Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, Nathan Ephraums spoke of HC Melbourne's game style, “People can absolutely expect attacking hockey from us again this year. That’s the brand we like to play. Attacking hockey with the shootouts after each goal being in the competition again, fans should definitely expect a lot of goals and we’ve got a few young, exciting forwards who know how to bang them in as well, so I’m looking forward to that.”
