Western Province Hockey Section is one of the oldest hockey clubs in the Cape. Originally the ladies and mens sections were separate entities, with the ladies starting as WPLHC. This was about 80 years ago. The men's section started some 60 years ago as a winter recreation for cricketers.
 
The hockey section, which is the largest hockey club in Cape Town with over 350 active members, playing winter league, summer league, masters league and indoor league at various times of the year.
 
With its own artificial turf and fantastic Clubhouse, the hockey section enjoys one of the best club venues in the world.
 
This section attracts many young players from the surrounding schools and universities. These players get valuable exposure to club hockey via, on and off field, coaching from senior players. This formula ensures that young players are always coming through the ranks.
 
The hockey section has a proud history of supplying players for the provincial and national teams.
