Club Information
Club History
Acomb Hockey Club was formed in 1968 with the amalgamation of Phoenix Hockey Club and York Spartans Hockey Club (who were formerly known as York Corporation Hockey Club).
The club became a sports section of Acomb Sports Club, which continues now, sharing a home ground and clubhouse with Acomb Cricket Club and formerly Acomb Tennis Club.
In the past we have toured as far afield as Canada, Barcelona, and Bournemouth.
Our Clubhouse
Our post-match hospitality and club socials take place at Acomb Sports Club (The Cricket Pavilion) The Green, Acomb, York YO26 5FG. A 2023 refurbishment makes this a great spot for post-match pints and refreshments.
