History of Cambridge City Junior Hockey Club
Junior hockey in Cambridge was trialled in 1985 in collaboration between Cambridge Hockey Clubs, Cambridge City Council Amenities and Recreation Department and the Hockey Association to encourage more juniors to become involved in the sport.
In the first season there were 7 one hour sessions held on Sunday mornings at Coldhams Common in Cambridge which continued on an ‘ad hoc’ basis with a gradual increase in numbers. By the end of 1989/1990 season a suggestion was made by the parent volunteers to formalise activities and form a Committee. This came into effect in 1990/91 , affiliation was with Cambridge City Hockey Club to continue to provide the benefit of progression to senior hockey whilst remaining an independent club. A constitution was prepared and adopted in the 1999/2000 season.
Club Training for all age Groups September 2004
In 2004 a new forward thinking chairman and treasurer were appointed and it was then Cambridge City Junior Hockey Club was formed. There was renewed impetus and membership began to increase rapidly. In 2006 the club moved to two new training venues, The Perse School and Leys School to accommodate the burgeoning membership.
At the start of the 2018/19 season, two new pitches were built thanks to a very generous donation by the parents of a former junior alongside the University’s existing pitch at the University Sports ground on Wilberforce Road . This is where Cambridge City Junior Hockey Club called home. Subsequently, we have finished our relationship with CCHC and are creating a new formula of hockey club based around maximising Astro time for all and ensuring every player has access to professional coaching.
