The club unifies both men and women under one name,[2] unlike Victoria's former representation in the Australian Hockey League as the VIC Vikings (men) and VIC Vipers (women).[3][4]
HC Melbourne competed for the first time in the inaugural season of Hockey One, which was contested from late September through to mid November 2019.
