About

Koninklijke Hockey Club Dragons, also known as KHC Dragons or simply Dragons, is a Belgian field hockey club based in Brasschaat, Antwerp Province. The club was founded in 1946. Since the end of the eighties the club competes in Belgium's first tier, Honour Division. HC Dragons was founded on the 26th of Octobre 1946 at Café Royal in Berchem. With only 11 members the club played recreational hockey in the Belgian lower divisions. Before moving in 1961 to the present location in Brasschaat the club played on different fields around Antwerp. The club's turning point came in 1981 when Jacques Daems became the president of the club. It was his ambition that the club should be one of the best in Belgium. A few years later the club installed its first artificial turf and promoted in 1988 to the Honour Division. A year later the women's team promoted to the Honour Division as well.
