Community partnerships support national teams and community hockey
Field Hockey Canada (FHC) and West Vancouver Field Hockey Club (WVFHC) are thrilled to announce the continuation of our community hockey partnership. This agreement reaffirms our shared commitment to fostering excellence in field hockey at all levels.
Under this agreement:
- National Team Training: WVFHC will continue to support Canada’s men’s and women’s national teams with top-tier training opportunities at Rutledge Field, proudly recognized as the Home of the Canadian National Teams.
- Grassroots Development: National players will actively contribute to developing youth field hockey at WVFHC, offering coaching, skill-building clinics, and mentorship opportunities for our young athletes.
- Masters Training: The agreement also includes dedicated support for Masters-level training, ensuring that players of all ages can pursue their passion for the game.
This collaboration highlights our shared vision of advancing field hockey in Canada, from grassroots to the highest levels of competition. This partnership has continued to grow and flourish over the years — from hosting the Olympic Qualifiers in 2019 to now an extended agreement which includes masters hockey.
This partnership is an example of the NSO collaborating with community and club field hockey partners to support the growth of the sport while creating an aligned system which flow support up to the national team programs. Just last year, Field Hockey Canada collaborated with passionate hockey community at Tamanawis Park for the Junior Pan American Championship and Nationals as well as partnering with Field Hockey Alberta for the Indoor Pan American Cup and National Championships. This year, Field Hockey Canada will host Nationals in Brampton, connecting with the community in the GTA.
Together, we’re building a stronger field hockey community! Stay tuned for updates on upcoming programs and events.
