The Northern Tridents are a New Zealand based field hockey club, originating in the nation's northern most region. The club was established in 2020, and is one of four established to compete in Hockey New Zealand's new premier domestic competition, the Premier Hockey League. The club unifies both men and women under one name. The Northern Tridents competed for the first time in the inaugural season of Premier Hockey League, where the men's and women's teams finished fourth and second in their respective tournaments.

History

Along with three other teams, the Northern Tridents were founded in 2020 as part of Hockey New Zealand's development of hockey. The team unifies the region from Northland to Auckland. The team's name is inspired by the sweeping ocean vistas in the northern regions of New Zealand, with their namesake coming from the trident of Poseidon, the Greek God of the sea.
