History

Perth Thundersticks, along with six other teams, are part of Hockey Australia's development of hockey. The club unites both WA's male and female teams, with the women's team previously being known as the WA Diamonds.

The club name and identity celebrates the Thundersticks' success from the 1990s and 2000s when they were a dominant force in the men's Australian Hockey League. The club retained the state's iconic black, gold and white colours.

The words "Thunder Sticks" in gold letters, with the T's bottom being replaced by a dot; lightning runs from this dot to the top of the T. In smaller black letters above "Thunder Sticks" is "Smokefree WA", with a "No smoking" symbol to the left of these words. — Old WA Thundersticks club logo
