DONATE TO THE MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM AND SUPPORT THEIR JOURNEY

Field Hockey Canada recently announced a recent donation of $375,000 that launched our new Power the Podium Trust Fund, a long-term philanthropic initiative designed to provide sustainable funding for Canada’s national field hockey teams. You can donate to the Power of the Podium Trust or learn more about additional donation options that also go directly to supporting our national team programs. Since our national team programs are largely dependent on funding sources from the government, sponsors and donors, as well as self-funded team levies, we focus time not only on our training efforts but fundraising to help offset the costs required to adequately participate and prepare for our competitions.
