Field Hockey Canada > Field Hockey Canada announces month-long Men's Super League

*Note November 6 game cancelled: FHC staff were made aware today that a member of the immediate FHC SL community was not feeling well. As a precaution and in the best interests of all those involved, this evenings game has been cancelled. FHC HP staff are aware that this is part of our new reality and this is good preparation for future international events. A decision on Sunday’s game will be made following the result of the COVID-19 test and in full consultation with medical staff and of course, players. UPDATE: Sunday’s game has also been cancelled.

November Super League offers an elite competition element as the national team prepares for an Olympic campaign

The best men’s players in the country. Three teams. Game on!

When the Canadian Men’s National Team qualified for Tokyo 2020 a year ago, no one cold have predicted what was on the way. Although the national teams have been safely training since the end of summer, the postponement of the Tokyo Games and other international competitions left the men’s national team with major competition gaps. With COVID-19 throwing complications in the traditional build up to an Olympic Games, Field Hockey Canada is taking the opportunity to offer a four-week Super League for nationally identified athletes.
