About MHC Juniors
Developing young hockey talent in Cape Town through quality coaching, competitive play, and a supportive team environment
Welcome to MHC Juniors
MHC Juniors is dedicated to developing young hockey talent in Cape Town through quality coaching, competitive play, and a supportive team environment. We believe that hockey is more than just a sport. It's a pathway to building confidence, character, and lifelong friendships.
Our Mission
To provide a nurturing environment where young athletes can develop their hockey skills, build character, and create lasting friendships through the sport we love. We're committed to making hockey accessible to all children in our community, regardless of their experience level.
Our Values
Excellence
We strive for the best in everything we do, from coaching standards to facility maintenance, always aiming to provide our players with the highest quality hockey experience.
Teamwork
We believe in supporting each other both on and off the field. Success comes not just from individual talent, but from working together as one united team.
Respect
We teach our players to respect their opponents, officials, coaches, and above all, the beautiful game of hockey itself. Sportsmanship is at the heart of who we are.
Development
We're dedicated to continuous improvement and learning. Every practice, every match, and every season is an opportunity for our players to grow - not just as athletes, but as people.
Serving Our Community
MHC is a non-profit organization with a strong focus on youth development. We are proud to be the only Western Province Hockey Union (WPHU) affiliated club serving the greater Milnerton, Table View, Melkbosstrand, and Edgemead areas. Our mission is to make the sport of hockey more accessible to children across these communities, many of whom would otherwise need to travel significant distances to participate in the sport.
As at the end of the 2025 season, MHC has grown to over 130 registered junior players, excluding an additional 20+ pre-league participants. We're particularly proud of our commitment to empowering development players from the Dunoon and Joe Slovo informal settlements, offering them the same access to structured hockey development and league participation as all our other players.
Our Age Groups
We offer hockey programs across multiple age groups to accommodate players at various stages of their development:
Little League (Ages 6-8)
Our non-competitive, fun-focused league designed to build foundation level hockey skills in a supportive, encouraging environment. Perfect for young players taking their first steps in the sport.
U11 Boys & Girls
Developing fundamental skills while introducing competitive play and teamwork concepts.
U13 Boys & Girls
Building on core skills with increased tactical awareness and competitive match experience.
U15 Boys & Girls
Advanced development preparing players for senior hockey with high level coaching and competitive league play.
Holiday Clinics & Community Outreach
MHC regularly hosts holiday clinics that are open to all children, regardless of club affiliation. These clinics provide an excellent opportunity for new players to experience hockey in a fun, zero pressure environment, while giving our existing members extra training and development time.
Our commitment to community development extends beyond our registered members. Through our outreach programs and inclusive approach to the sport, we're working to ensure that every child who wants to play hockey has the opportunity to do so.
