The 2022 Ric Charlesworth Classic, presented by Brightside Live, is coming and, based on the first two iterations of the competition, the third instalment is going to capture the attention, interest and excitement of the hockey community across the state and further afield.

The Ric Charlesworth Classic, Hockey WA’s blue-ribbon competition for men and women ahead of the Premier League season, pits some of Western Australia’s finest against each other in the quest for glory… and positions in our open-age state representative teams, the Perth Thundersticks.

This year’s competition – live-streamed in full by TheWest.com.au – is going to be a cracker, with fixtures played across an eight-day period from Saturday 26 March to Saturday 2 April at Perth Hockey Stadium at Curtin University.

The Breakers, Outbacks, Suns and Highlanders will once again go head-to-head in the battle for gold. In past editions, some of the state’s finest players including the likes of Tim Geers and Line Malan have taken to the field alongside some of our brightest young players. Players interested in participating are invited to express their interest via the registration portal here:

Entry to the Ric Charlesworth Classic is $5 with kids under 18 FREE.
