Masters
“TEM is keen to welcome new players to any of the Masters/Midweek age groups. Whether you are warming down from weekend action, returning to hockey after a number of years or picking up a stick for the first time, we will have a team to suit you.”
Masters hockey provides an opportunity for women who are aged over 35 and men aged over 40 to enjoy hockey in an age based environment.
Midweek Open hockey is for senior players who wish to play on midweek nights rather than on weekends, or play a second game each week.
Men's Masters and Open games are played on Monday nights and Women's Masters are played on Wednesday nights between 7-10pm.
The Men's competitions are open gender competitions and are for men and women. The rules allow a limited number of players over 38 to play in the over 40 competitions and a limited number of players over 33 to play in the over 35 competitions.
In 2026 TEM will field the following five Masters and Midweek Open teams:
Men's 40+A - home and away
Men's 40+C - home and away
Men's 50+ - venue based, at HMHC every week
Open Mixed B – home and away
Women's 45+ - home and away
If you play for another club in any weekend competition, it's allowable to play for a different club for Masters and Midweek Open. You don't need to get a clearance for this. You would have a dual club registration with Hockey Victoria (at no extra payment to HV).
It is also allowable to play with one club in the Monday Masters/Open competitions and a different club in the Wednesday Women Masters competitions.
If you are interested in playing Masters/Midweek hockey with TEM in 2026 registrations are open at www.temhockey.com, or feel free to get in touch for more information
