Pinoké, also known as de Steekneuzen, is a Dutch field hockey club based in Amstelveen. It was founded on 23 January 1929, making it the second oldest hockey club in 'het Amsterdamse Bos'. Both the men's and the women's 1st XI compete in the Hoofdklasse Hockey, country's top-tier league.

The men's team came 2nd in the Hoofdklasse Hockey in the 2021-2022 season. Bloemendaal were the defending champions and they defended their title by defeating Pinoké 3–0 in the second match of the best of three series.[1] In the 1st match, Bloemendaal tied 30 seconds before the end (3–3), after which Pinoké lost after shoot-outs.[2]

As a result off the 2nd place in 2022, the men's team also made their debut in Euro Hockey League, where they defeated Slavia Prague 16–0 in their first match.[3] Pinoké qualified for the final 8 and hosted the EHL Final8 2022–23[4] in the Wagener stadium.

The men's team won the Hoofdklasse Indoor Hockey in 2022,[5] which means they participated in the Men's EuroHockey Indoor Club Trophy in 2023. In the 2022–23 season they reached the final for the second time and again against Bloemendaal, this time they won 5–1 on aggregate.[6]

One year later, 2023, the women's team won the Hoofdklasse Indoor Hockey,[7] allowing them to participate in the Women's EuroHockey Indoor Club Cup in 2024.
