The 2009 Men's Australian Hockey League was the 19th edition of the men's field hockey tournament. The finals week of the tournament was held in the Tasmanian city of Hobart.

The WA Thundersticks won the gold medal for the eighth time by defeating the QLD Blades 2–1 in the final.[1]

Competition format

[edit]

The 2009 Men's Australian Hockey League consisted of a single round robin format, followed by classification matches.

Teams from all 8 states and territories competed against one another throughout the pool stage in home and away matches. At the conclusion of the pool stage, the top four ranked teams progressed to the semi-finals, while the bottom four teams continued to the classification stage.[2]

Point Allocation

[edit]

All matches had an outright result, meaning drawn matches were decided in either golden goal extra time, or a penalty shoot-out. Match points were as follows:

· 3 points for a win
· 1 points to each team in the event of a draw
· 0 points to the loser of the match
