Members of the Waverley Hockey Club are urged to make the trip down to support their top teams on the day in our 50th year celebrations as we strive for success. The support on the day really does help push the teams on and is much appreciated by all!

Please find below the Canteen Roster for the remainder of Season 2009. The Roster has been drawn up on a ‘convenience’ basis, ie. you play then stick around afterwards to help out. At least 2 people from each team are required, 1 person to man the bar and the other the canteen.

Only teams are stated for specific times, its up to each team to generate a roster around these times. Thanks in advance for helping out around the club. It’s not a huge commitment but one that is needed to ensure the club has success off the field as well as on.

Cheers Trav.

Happy 50th! In celebration of our 50th birthday we are proud to welcome you to the new Waverley Website!

Since first going online, Waverley Hockey Club has used its website as the main communication tool for the club to members and the hockey fraternity.  The club has continually pushed excellence and has been a leading innovative club in terms of media online. To keep with the times the site has has been given a facelift and fully upgraded to add even more features in an effort to make www.waverleyhc.org.au your one stop shop for everything hockey related!

New features

Below is a list of the sites features detailing changes that have occured in the site revamp:

myWHC

The biggest addition to the site has been the introduction of the myWHC page. On the old site, myWHC provided access to the forums where discussions took place in relation to all things Waverley.  The new site includes the addition of individual pages for each team of the club.

Individual team pages will feature your fixture for the upcoming weekend, display an up to date ladder of the competition you are competing in and display any news/pictures/events relevant to the team.  So rather than having to access Sporting Pulse to find out competition information, just check out your myWHC page!

RSS Feed

Use an RSS feed to keep up to date with all the news happening around the club? Subscribe to the feed for site. Its an easy way to keep up to date with any new posts as they go live!

Photo Gallery

Checkout all the pictures of club members from happenings both on and off the field. This will be updated regularly and we encourage all members to send in any pictures you have to place up for the whole club to see. Make sure you take the time to look through the history album with great pictures over the last 50 years!

Player Profiles

Checkout the player profiles of the State League One squads and get to know the clubs elite players on a more personal basis. As the site grows, look to see the ‘Proud Panther’ pop up providing player profiles of fellow club members generated randomly on site pages as you browse.

Forums, Tipping & Polls
As we continue to fill the site with content check back for updates relating to the re-installation of the Wav Forums, a MyWHC tipping competition (tipping on Waverley teams each round) and the introduction of ‘Panther Polls’ to find out the communities vote on certain questions!

Community Board

To further establish and foster our relationship with the surrounding community a free bulletin board will be placed in MyWHC to advertise services and specials in the surrounding area.

With these ideas and many more in the pipes make sure you familiarise yourself with the new look website and become increasingly involved online to help build a stronger club cohesion.

A special thanks to Lee Murphy from spoonfed creative (www.spoonfedcreative.com) for his help in designing some new artwork for the site.

Check back regularly to keep up-to-date with the Panthers 50th year celebrations and make sure you leave your thoughts by commenting on articles, pages or pictures!

Emily even hit the score sheet with a goal!
