About the Team
We are the Canadian Junior Women’s National Field Hockey Team and we want you to join our journey! Our team is comprised of ‘Next Gen’ athletes who are 5-8 years away from an Olympic/World Cup podium. We are a part of Field Hockey Canada’s Women’s Next Gen national program. Our players train and compete in their regional training centres located in BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. It is from this athlete pool that coaches draw for Junior and Youth international competitions. The Next Gen pathway also serves as the development pipeline for the Senior Women’s National Team.
Last year, we earned the top spot out of the Pan Americas by winning the Junior Pan American Championships in August 2021, defeating Chile, Argentina and Uruguay en route to a gold medal. Argentina had won seven of the previous eight iterations of this event, with USA winning one in 2008. This win went down in history as the first Canadian Junior Pan American gold for any Team Canada. This is also the first outdoor Pan American gold for any Canadian women’s program.
Following this victory, we booked our ticket to the Junior World Cup, which took place in April of 2022, in Potchefstroom, South Africa. This was an amazing international experience that helped us build our skillset as both individuals and a team.
Our journey now continues as we gear up for the 2022-2023 season…
