Indy Sehmbi – Coach & Community Builder – One Athlete at a Time

Indy Sehmbi has played a huge role in the development of young field hockey athletes in the Lower Mainland and throughout Canada and, after taking the Junior National Team to the Junior World Cup in December of 2021, he made the tough decision to step aside and take some time away from coaching at the National level.

He has helped to develop many local players. We would like to wish Indy well in which ever challenge he takes on next and thank him for all of his amazing contributions to Field Hockey in Canada.
