FTHC – How we began

The Fraser Tech Hockey Club was established in 1934. It is named after the Hamilton Technical College (est. 1920) and it’s original principal Whampoa Fraser. The Technical College eventually became two entities, Fraser High School and Wintec (Waikato Institute of Technology) that still occupies the original site on Garden Place Hill. The Hockey Club shares its proud name and history with Rugby, Netball, and Cricket Clubs in Hamilton.
Mr Whampoa Fraser encouraged and engaged youth in sporting activities to transfer that enthusiasm to learning. He embodied the old fashioned values that promoted community and family. The hockey club of his name tries to operate in this tradition, promoting hockey as a sport for all ages.
