In line with the 2016 Field Hockey Canada Competition Review and with specific intent to produce a more meaningful playing environment at National Championship events, Field Hockey BC, Field Hockey Ontario, and Field Hockey Alberta (over time) have each made the strategic commitment for the period 2017-2022, to designate junior provincial representative teams by region, and in doing so foster greater critical mass and competitive depth at National events.
The 2017 Team BC program sees Field Hockey BC take historical reference from the British Columbia Coat of Arms (above), in both the team designations and uniform design for Team BC (BC Rams, BC Stags, BC Lions).
Island - Stags (the Stag represents Vancouver Island within the BC Coat of Arms)
Mainland - Rams (the Ram represents the Mainland within the BC Coat of Arms)
Selects - Lions (the Lion represents the sovereignty of BC within the BC Coat of Arms)
We very much look forward to seeing our teams represent BC at the upcoming National Championships in Surrey, BC July 18-25, 2017. It promises to be an extremely exciting week of field hockey for all involved!
