Thank you to everyone who made this ‘getting back to normal’ season possible:

  • To the umpires for keeping us safe and reminding us about all the rules we forgot
  • To the coaches for their patience as they helped us get the kinks out of our individual and team plan after a year off
  • To the parents and partners for driving us to the field and putting up with our weekend warrior injuries
  • To the players for everything they did to keep their teammates and opponents safe, healthy, and playing

Our Spring AGM is on Thursday, April 7th at Juan de Fuca Rec’s Lower Clubhouse at 7 pm. We have lots to discuss in anticipation of next season – we hope to see you there!

Anticipate our Fall AGM in early September 2022, with the season to start not long after that.

Have a great and safe summer!

It has been an exciting couple of weeks in the field hockey world, with the Canadian Men’s and Women’s teams competing in the 2022 Pan American Cup tournament in Chile.

The Women’s team secured a berth in the 2022 World Cup, thanks to their bronze medal win.

The Men’s team played a solid tournament, with a third place finish.

Looking for videos? The Field Hockey Canada Twitter feed has great clips, and some strategic searching will find matches on YouTube.
