For the first time, the Chapter fielded in a team comprising students and former students of ACJC and ACS (Independent) in the Youth Division of the Hockey Liga Tournament in 2016. It was heartening to see players from different cohorts coming together, meeting and playing with each other for the first time, all in the name of camaraderie and the spirit of sports.

The Seniors participated in the Men’s Liga Division which saw the return of several players who had previously represented the National team in the Asian Games. As in the past, we also had players who were not from the ACS family of schools joining us and soaking in the Oldham spirit. With their participation, and involvement, the Seniors finished the competition as runners-up. 

The main focus of the Hockey Chapter in 2016 was the participation in the National Hockey League Division 4. Having narrowly missed out on the finals and the automatic promotion place last year, the players were keen to make amends and improve on their final standing. It was with this in mind the every member gave it their all in the course of the season, and their effort was duly rewarded with a silver medal and promotion to National Hockey League 3 next season. But looking beyond the results, the team also included current schoolboys in the squad who less than a year ago had not even played the game. It is this spirit of encouragement, mentorship and support that will keep the Chapter going from strength to strength in the coming years
