University of Exeter Men's Hockey Club is a field hockey club based in Exeter, Devon, England. The club plays its matches at the Sports Park on the University of Exeter's Streatham Campus. There is a water based pitch and a hybrid pitch.
In 2009, The Men's 1st XI gained promotion to the English Hockey League Men's Premier Division. The club has failed to retain its position in the flagship league for more than one season, and is currently considered the "yo-yo" team of the Men's English Hockey League. As such, for the 2014/15 season the Men's 1st XI will again play in the England Hockey League Men's Conference West.
The club fields six men's teams which compete in BUCS leagues on Wednesdays and in local and National leagues at the weekend. A seventh XI was formed in 2014, serving as a Development XI for those working towards a berth in one of the six regular outfits.
EUMHC work in the community providing coaches to the England Hockey Junior Development Centres (JDC) and Junior Academy Centres (JAC). Furthermore, the club supports a twenty team intramural hockey competition. In all, just over 450 students play hockey at the University of Exeter on a weekly basis.
A committee, elected annually by the members organises the club's affairs and works in conjunction with the University sport department, Athletic Union and other agencies involved in the provision of sport within the higher education sphere. The current Club Captain is Rory Collett and Todd Dudley serves as Chairman.
