The Americas Masters Games are coming to Vancouver from August 26th-September 4th. This is a massive multi-sport Games for athletes over the age of 35 and of any skill level! We are pleased to be helping organize the field hockey portion of the Games. Registration for the Masters Games will be open until August, but space is limited so be sure to register before it's too late!

There are two ways to register for the games. You can either register as an individual and be placed on a team, or your team captain can register your team and invitations will automatically be sent out to the rest of your team so they can register.

Congratulations to the Canadian Junior Men's National Team for qualifying for the Junior World Cup being held in Lucknow, India in December. The top two teams from the Men's 2016 Pan American Junior Championships were given berths into the World Cup. Canada managed to secure their spot in the Pan Am final and at the Junior World Cup after a 3-1 victory over Chile in the Semi-Finals of the tournament.

Canada ended up finishing 2nd at the Pan Am Championships after a 5-0 loss to a very skilled Argentina team.

The Canadian Men's National Team just wrapped up a tour to Europe that had them competing against Ireland and Spain, two teams that will also be at the 2016 Olympics. This tour served as one of the last stages of selection and preparation before the team heads to Rio in August. Canada leaves Europe with 3 losses and 1 tie against Ireland, and 1 loss and 2 ties against Spain. Although the scoresheet didn't have the ideal outcome, Canada is still confident about their preparation and their chances in Rio.

The Olympic Team will be named on July 1st and will compete in a test series in Surrey and West Vancouver against Team USA from July 6th-10th.
