Logo

In the 1990s, the Victorian Hockey Association operated using a silver-and-black letter 'V'. When the Victorian Hockey Association, Victorian Women's Hockey Association and Victorian Junior Hockey Association amalgamated and became HV in 2003, the new peak body rebranded itself with a new logo. This represents a stylized 'V' and stylized hockey sticks, using the traditional Victorian colours of blue and white.

In September 2010, the HV logo was changed under a directive from Hockey Australia to bring the logos of all the State and Territory Associations into alignment, to demonstrate "that sport is working together for the betterment of members, ... demonstrate a modern and innovative look and feel and present sport in a more professional way". This new series of logos uses the same image, an abstract person holding a hockey stick, for all Associations with the variation being provided in the colour scheme. HV's new logo uses navy blue, the traditional colour for Victoria, and orange, the alternate colour used by Victorian state teams in the event of a colour clash.

Competition Structure

HV administers a statewide, club-based competition, where self-administering clubs enter teams into the competition. All competitions are based on a promotion-relegation system of advancement, as outlined below.

Openage (Senior) Competition

There are two concurrent tiers of competition in Victoria - Premier League/Vic League and Pennant/Metro. There are 19 rounds of competition in the premier league and premier league reserves, other competitions are 18 rounds. In 2012 the competition was renamed from State League one to Premier League. With a change from 10 teams to 12 teams in the competition.

Premier League Competition

In 2008, there were five State League grades for men and four for women. There is a maximum of ten teams per grade in State League. If a new club was to enter State League, they would have to enter at the lowest grade and earn promotion to the higher grades.

Clubs may only enter one team in the Premier League (PL), and this is treated as that club's "First XI" or highest-ranked team. Premier League (PL) is the premier competition in Victoria. After the renaming to Premier League at the end of 2012, the competition for premier league has two grades "Premier League" and "Reserves". A club playing in premier league automatically has a team in reserves. The number of clubs in premier league in 2019 is sixteen. To gain promotion to premier league a club must satisfy League Entry Criteria published by Hockey Victoria. The lowest team on the ladder in premier league is subject to demotion.
