Grays Hockey is the worlds oldest Hockey brand and has been trusted by the hockey family for more than 150 years. With its origins in rackets, Hockey was one of the first sports which Grays branched into. From the beginnings of the game in the 1870’s, Grays were producing hockey sticks in Cambridge from ash. By 1914, Grays were exporting a range of hockey equipment around the world and making customised sticks for leading players.

The first Hockey Club was undoubtedly Blackheath. According to the book “Hockey” written in 1899 by P.A. Robson and J. Nicholson-Smith:- “This club was formed not later than the year 1840. Members are still living who were playing at that date”. The oldest record in The Club’s possession is the minute book of 1861 which refers to the subscription being 7/6 and the retiring secretary Mr.R.O’Neill. In the early days, Blackheath Hockey and Football (Rugby) were one club and they did not become separate entities until 1864.

Teddington HC, who mark 150 years this season but have put celebrations on hold, have the rightful claim to the accolade over Blackheath, according to research by The Hockey Paper. Blackheath has ‘officially the oldest hockey club in the world’, while Teddington states ‘oldest club in the world’ proudly labelled on their club social media handles. But the debate over who can lay claim to this historic mantle can now be put to bed.

We have been accepted and ‘rightfully’ exist as the oldest club for 160 years, it’s a bit late to change that now. According to the book “Hockey” written in 1899 by P.A. Robson and J. Nicholson-Smith, the publication states: “This club was formed not later than the year 1840. Miroy states: “The first Hockey Club was undoubtedly Blackheath”. So we feel no need to strive to prove Blackheath are the oldest hockey club. We just are.
