Field Hockey Canada is celebrating the recent induction classes in Vancouver in July
Field Hockey Canada is excited to announce an in-person Hall of Fame induction ceremony to take place on July 13, 2024, in Richmond, BC.
Last year was the first in-person celebration since 2019, and this year’s ceremony promises to be a similarly joyous occasion. Hosted at Sandman Vancouver Airport Hotel, this will be an opportunity to celebrate our Class of 2023. As promised last year, this ceremony will also include the opportunity for recognition of those western-Canadian-based inductees previously inducted in our online ceremonies (Classes 2019 – 2022).
The Hall of Fame Ceremony will take place at the Sandman Signature Vancouver Airport Hotel and Resort.
