Pine Hills Hockey Club is entering its 40th season, marking a milestone for the community-based club operating out of Bunya.
Four Decades Since 1986
The club was established in 1986, starting with a small number of girls’ teams before expanding over time. The club’s colours are now navy, yellow and white, with earlier beginnings linked to black and yellow.
Pine Hills Hockey Club describes hockey as a sport played across a wide age range, with participation referenced from age five through to 75.
Local Base At James Drysdale Reserve
The club is based at James Drysdale Reserve in Bunya, located on the corner of Jinker Track and Bunya Road. The clubhouse, known as the Sticks and Stones Pavilion, sits within the reserve and is accessed via Sports Lane.
Season Programs For New And Returning Players
In Term 1, 2026, the club is running Hookin2Hockey, a three-week introduction program for children aged five to 12. Sessions are scheduled for Thursdays on 12, 19 and 26 February 2026 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., held at the club’s grass fields at James Drysdale Reserve in Bunya.
The club has advised hockey sticks will be available to borrow during the sessions, with shin guards and mouth guards recommended.
Running at the same time is Back2Hockey, a free program for youths and adults who are beginners or returning to hockey after a long break.
40th Season Kick-Off Session Held In January
A season kick-off session was held on Saturday 17 January 2026 at Burringbar Turf, Brisbane North Hockey Centre. The session ran from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

What Happens Next
The club has advised it will use the Stack Team App in 2026 as its approved platform for club communication, while registrations and uniform purchases remain via the website.
