History
While La Gantoise was originally founded in 1864, the hockey section was not formed until 1914.
The first edition of the Belgian Hockey League, known simply as 'The Championship' at the time, was held following the conclusion of World War One. La Gantoise finished in fourth place, and they won the following year.
At the club's 100th anniversary, in 1964, La Gantoise had 150 members, forming 10 teams.
The club continued to grow, eventually forming women's teams, who reached the top level of Belgian hockey in 2003. Three years later, in 2006, the women's first team reached a pinnacle by becoming champions of Belgium for the first time.
The second field at La Gantoise is named after Yves Bernaert, one of Belgium's most prolific former international players.
In the 2024-25 Men’s Euro Hockey League Gantoise won their first title by beating Bloemendaal in the final 5-2
