Qormi Hockey Club is a hockey club from the city of Qormi, in Malta, specifically playing the field hockey discipline. The club was founded in 1971. The club is one of the strongest senior teams playing in the Maltese National Hockey League.

History

Hockey in the city of Qormi dates back to the 1970s.

A teacher at the then Ġużé Galea Secondary School, in San Ġorġ, Joseph Kerr, called Chossie (or Ċossi), formed a hockey team made up of students. Kerr acted as the first coach.

The sport developed beyond the school; a society was formed. It had dire beginnings, as the club had to meet in a garage or cellar. Eventually, the club built its own complex, including a hockey pitch. The pitch has a synthetic turf surface.[1]

Nursery

The club operates an academy to nurse young players. Teams of Under 11, Under14 and Under 17 are fielded.[2]

Kit Evolution

Similar to other sport teams in Qormi, the team dons yellow and black strips. An alternative colour is the club's traditional green.
