HC Klein Zwitserland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HC Klein Zwitserland is a field hockey club from The Hague, Netherlands, which was founded on September 20, 1908. With 1.591 members – as of January 1, 2006 – it is the tenth club in the Netherlands. Although the club was officially founded in 1908, HCKZ is the result of a fusion in 1974 between HHIJC (Haagsche Hockey en IJshockeyclub) and TOGO (Tot Ons Genoegen Opgericht).
The first men's team of HC Klein Zwitserland ruled in the late 1970s, early 1980s, collecting a record number of titles: eight in a row (1977–1984). The first women's team returned to the highest league, called "Hoofdklasse", in 2001 with the help of Australia's superstar Alyson Annan.
