In 2024, the Stand Out Cup turns 10 years old!

As always, we are very excited to share out to the Hockey Victoria (HV) Community that the 2024 Stand Out Cup (SOC) team entries are now open. This event continues to grow and become more amazing every year due to the incredible support of the Victorian Hockey Community and their support of the LGBTIQ+ community.

The SOC is a key driver of HV’s commitment towards changing attitudes, promoting positive language and policies to ensure that LGBTIQ+ people feel welcome, comfortable and recognised in today’s game, the commitment from all Affiliates has made this an important day to celebrate diversity and inclusivity in Hockey. Joined once again by Proud 2 Play, a not-for-profit organisation that provide essential support to LGBTIQ+ community members, we will look to help raise funds and awareness for this crucial platform.

To mark the momentous 10 years and the inclusive nature of this event, the 2024 SOC will open a Junior Grade for the first time ever!

Designed for kids aged 14 years and younger, this Junior Grade will provide a safe space for the younger community to express their support and join in on the day. Similar to the A, B, and C Grade available for those 15 years and older, the Junior Grade provides a great pre-season hit out for teams looking to get a run in or even just to have some fun as a team.
