During the early part of 1961, Phipps Gay (1958) and Stan Rees (1932) commenced discussions with interested OCGs regarding the formation of an Old Carey Hockey Club (OCHC). They presented the idea to the OCGA at their November committee meeting that year, and commenced their own OCHC committee the following month. They entered the team into the Victorian Hockey Association for the 1962 season.

The Club joined the Melbourne Women’s Hockey Association in 1983, and has since become one of the most successful and stable old school clubs. It has been a rich and fulfilling history, which is something very few clubs can boast.
