The 2019 Men's Sultana Bran Hockey One was the inaugural men's edition of Hockey Australia's national league, Hockey One. The tournament was held across 7 states and territories of Australia. The tournament started on 29 September and culminated on 16 November 2019.[1]

The grand final of the tournament was hosted by HC Melbourne, as the top ranked team to qualify for the final in the women's league.[2]

NSW Pride won the tournament after defeating Brisbane Blaze 8–3 in the final.[3] Tassie Tigers finished in bronze position, following results from the pool stage.[4]

Competition format

Format

The 2019 Hockey One will follow a similar format to that of the final edition of the Australian Hockey League. Teams will play a series of home and away matches during the Pool Stage, which will be followed by a Classification Round.

During the pool stage, teams play each other once in either a home or a way fixture. The top four ranked teams will then qualify for the Classification Round, playing in two semi-finals with the winners contesting a grand final. Team 1 will host Team 4, while Team 2 will host Team 3. Of the two victorious teams, the higher ranked team from the pool stage will host the grand final.[5]

Rules

In addition to FIH sanctioned rules, Hockey Australia is implementing the following rules for Hockey One:

  • When a field goal or penalty stroke is scored the same athlete will have an automatic one-on-one shootout with the goalkeeper for an extra goal.
  • Outright winner: There will be no drawn games. In the event of a draw, teams will contest a penalty shoot-out to determine a winner.

Point Allocation

Match points will be distributed as follows:

  • 5 points: win
  • 3 points: shoot-out win
  • 2 points: shoot-out loss
  • 0 points: loss

Participating teams

The seven teams competing in the league come from Australia's states and territories, with the Northern Territory being the only team absent.[6]
