Amsterdamsche Hockey & Bandy Club (founded 28 January 1892) is the oldest professional field hockey club of the Netherlands, based in Amstelveen. AH&BC is also the largest field hockey club in the city.

History

The club was founded in 1892 and is seen as the oldest hockey club of the Netherlands and the European mainland.^[1] In the early years, bandy was the most important sport. When there was no ice in the summer they would play field hockey. Because of the 1928 Summer Olympics, when the Netherlands national hockey team won the silver medal at the field hockey tournament, the regard towards hockey changed. From that moment onwards, field hockey became the most important sport for the club.^[2]
