The club’s beginnings came in the 1990s from the annual Northern University Games Competition and the Australian University Games Competition where players represented the Queensland University of Technology in hockey. Original members of this competition decided to enter teams in a competition that ran all year round and thus, QUT Student Guild Hockey Club was established.
In 1999 QUT Student Guild Hockey Club entered a team in the Brisbane [Men’s] Hockey Association (BHA) competition in Division 3 and in 2000 QUT Student Guild Hockey Club entered a team in the Brisbane Women’s Hockey Association (BWHA) competition in DP3.
The club continued to grow. In 2006 QUT Student Guild Hockey Club incorporated and became QUT Hockey Club Inc. In 2009 the club celebrated 10 Years. In 2010 the club has 4 men’s and 6 women’s teams, plus summer hockey and indoor teams.
