Tassie Tigers is an Australian professional field hockey club based in Hobart, Tasmania. The club joined the Australian Hockey League in 1992 as a men's team. In 2019, the Tassie Tigers expanded to encompass both Tasmanian men's and women's teams, Tassie Van Demons, as one of 7 clubs to compete in Hockey Australia's new premier domestic competition, Hockey One.[1]
Tassie Tigers will compete in the inaugural season of Hockey One, which will be contested from late September through to mid November 2019.[2]
In 2014 the Tigers became the AHL champions, drawing 2-2 with the WA Thundersticks in the gold medal game, but eventually winning 3-2 in penalty shoot-outs.[3]
