Adelaide Fire is an Australian professional field hockey club based in Adelaide, South Australia. The club was established in 2019, and is one of 7 established to compete in Hockey Australia's new premier domestic competition, Hockey One. [1]

Contents

The club unifies both men and women under one name, [2] unlike South Australia's former representation in the Australian Hockey League as the SA Hotshots (men) and SA Suns (women). [3] [4]

Adelaide Fire will compete for the first time in the inaugural season of Hockey One, which will be contested from late September through to mid November 2019.

History

Adelaide Fire, along with six other teams, was founded on 17 April 2019 as part of Hockey Australia's development of hockey. [5] The establishment of the club however, was not met without challenges. It was feared Hockey SA would not enter Hockey One due to financial restraints, however after a public fundraiser the entry quota was met. [6]

The club name of the Fire is a natural progression and combination of the former club names – the Hotshots and the Suns.

Uniform

The club colours are a modern take on traditional SA colours, the yellow, now replaced with white provides a cleaner, modern feel to the uniforms.
