The NT Stingers are an Australian professional field hockey club based in Darwin, Northern Territory. The club was established in 1993, as part of the Australian Hockey League.[1]
The club have not competed competitively since 2018.[2][3] They are currently in a rebuilding phase, with a main goal of joining the JDH Hockey One League in 2025.[4]
History
[edit]The NT Stingers were founded in 1993, under the women's team, the NT Pearls. A men's team was founded in 1998, under the name the NT Stingers. The two teams competed each year in the Australian Hockey League, until its disbandment in 2018.[1]
The club could not afford to join the JDH Hockey One League in 2019, therefore they do not currently compete competitively, rather, hosting a Festival of Hockey each year.[4]
The Territory Stingers will part in the Malaysian domestic season Malaysia Hockey League in 2025.[5]
Both the men's and women's Northern Territory representative teams entered the AHL at different times. While the women joined in the tournament's inaugural year of 1993, the men didn't join until 1998.
While participating for the first three years, the women's team were absent from the AHL between 1996 and 1999.
The men and women have both previously represented NT under different names. The men have represented as the Territory Stingers (2001–2008) and the Darwin Stingers (2010, 2012), while the women have represented as the Darwin Blazez (1993–1995) and the Territory Pearls (2006–2007, 2010).
