Grading

As teams can have a variety of participants with varying levels of skill/experience in Hockey, as well as a large grading pools in previous years, in 2025, the process for grading was updated to create parity and ensure teams are comfortable in the grade they play in.

To achieve this, instead of teams selecting a grade, ranges were provided when teams were registered. From there, Hockey Victoria contacted each team contact to assess which grade they would feel most comfortable to play in. Based on this new grading approach, please see the questions below.

What Grade did you play in?

Do you believe your team was comfortable in your grade?

Do you have any feedback on the level of competition within your grade (I.e perfect skill/competition, some good challenges, a few too many highly skilled teams, etc.)

Do you prefer the new approach to grading?

Please provide any recommendations on how we can improve the grading in the future.
