Meet The Teams
NUMHC runs 4 mens teams every Saturday and 3 on Wednesdays. The club is highly competitive and successful - with the 1s just missing out on promotion to BUCS National and making the cup semis, the 4s making it to the cup semis, and the 3s winning the treble in the 2018/19 season. All 4 mens teams have managed to consolidate their gains from the previous season and are now pushing on for further success in 2022/23.

The 3rd XI currently plays in the BUCS Northern 3B and NHL East div 3. In the 2018/19 season we won the Treble title resulting in us being promoted in both the Wednesday and Saturday league, as well as winning the cup. Last season through a series of gutsy performances we managed to solidify our position in our new higher leagues.

This season we will be play teams such as Leeds and Durham on a Wednesday and Morpeth and Stockton on Saturday.

The 2nd team had a great season in the BUCS last season with a strong push for promotion, unfortunately we fell just short of it. The team will be looking to achieve that promotion for this season. The 2s are hoping for another strong season in the NHL with a possible promotion on the cards. We will be playing teams such as Sheffield and Leeds in the BUCS division and Durham City and Stockton in the NHL. Lets see if we can go all the way in the cup and make it a treble winning year!

We also secured our place in Division 2 North East for next season. This season we are not playing BUCS so will be aiming to fight for promotion in the league on Saturday and will be looking to replicate if not improve upon our performance in the cup, capturing the hearts and minds of Newcastle hockey club along the way.
