Field Hockey BC would like to congratulate legendary coach Lynne Beecroft on winning the prestigious viaSport Competition Coach of the Year! This recognition is a testament to her exceptional coaching skills, dedication, and profound impact on the field hockey community.

After 39 years at the helm of the University of Victoria Vikes women's field hockey program, coach Lynne Beecroft has decided to retire in 2023. "She has amassed 34 national medals (15 of which are gold), coached nearly 40 athletes who have gone on to represent Canada and over 70 All-Canadians, finishing with an impressive overall coaching record of 340-98-89 (wins-losses-ties) but the real legacy lies in that which she has left with her athletes, her colleagues, the community and the sport", wrote Ali Baggott in her article for the Uvikes website.

Again, we are very happy that Lynne is receiving the recoginition she deservers from an organization such as viaSport. Well done, coach!
