New Varsity College Hockey Club

New Varsity College Hockey Club

Date: 2014-03-07
Riverside Sports Club Complex becomes home turf for new Varsity College Hockey Club

Varsity College Hockey Club (VCHC) has been officially confirmed as a constituent member of KZN Hockey as a stand-alone club and has been included in the women's and men's Super League premier divisions, guaranteed for 2 years from 2014. Since this announcement, VCHC has also been granted playing rights at Riverside Sports and will use this venue as it's home ground for practices and home matches, with all its members and officials being subject to the rules and conditions of Riverside Sports. 

VCHC is constituted as a student Hockey Club and places severe restrictions on non-student members being able to play for VCHC. Though it is the stated policy of Riverside Sports Club that no other 'Open' Hockey Club will be allowed to have home venue playing & practice status on the Riverside Sports property, this policy was reviewed afterconsultation with Riverside Hockey Club (RHC) - the current 'home team' of Riverside Sports. In a spirit of 'Hockey cooperation' RHC, have welcomed their future rivals in sharing their home turf and the well-established local Hockey Club also played a meaningful part in supporting VCHC's inclusion into the KZN Hockey Association.

"This new far reaching and indeed 'Hybrid relationship' on the Riverside Sports site which has brought together our own outstanding Riverside Hockey Club and the new 'student' Varsity College Hockey Club will ensure that the World Class Hockey facilities that we offer at Riverside Sports are maximised to offer top class sports and recreational fellowship. It is a testament to the foresight of the negotiating teams of the two Hockey Clubs who worked so hard to put hockey first and I know that the Varsity College Hockey Club will not mind me congratulating Riverside Hockey Club and its entire membership on the vision that they have shown in being prepared to share our wonderful facilities in this manner. It is without doubt a brilliant example and indeed a testament to the RHC's mantra of PURE HOCKEY ENJOYMENT", stated Roger Gardner, CEO of Riverside Sports Club.
