Curtin Trinity Pirates Hockey Club was formed in 1998 through the merger of two of the strongest Men’s and Women’s First Division Clubs of recent years – Curtin Trinity Tigers Hockey Club and The Pirates Hockey Club. The decision proved to be a great one, with the new Club being successful in winning leadingships in the First and Second Divisions of both the Men’s and Women’s competitions in their inaugural 1998 season. Each of these two original clubs had a strong history of their own. The combination of the Tigers colours and the Pirates name means that the important history of each club has been retained.
