Club History
Nanaimo Hornets were originally formed under the name of Nanaimo Rovers in the year 1888, one of 3 Vancouver Island teams in that year. The name was changed later that century. Up until the mid 1970's, the Hornets have moved their home pitch to numerous venues finally building our own Hornets' Nest at May Bennett Park.
