Bendigo Senjuns Hockey Club

The club was formed in 1986 by close friends, Glenda Nevinson (who coached the team for seven years), Alison Ferguson, Alison Campbell and Judy Hasty. Alison Perkins, a senior player who agreed with these friends’ hockey aims, later joined forces with the club. The vision of these senior players was to use their encouragement, skill and experience to develop young, interested hockey players into an enthusiastic, fair minded and committed team. For their new team, the founders agreed upon the name "Senjuns" which originated from two words, "Seniors" and "Juniors", and underpinned the goals of this group.
