National Men’s Indoor Team selecting squads for next international cycle
Field Hockey Canada is delighted to announce upcoming selection camps for the new men’s indoor international cycle. The camps will be to identify 20 athletes to train as a squad in preparation for the Indoor Pan American Championships being held in Calgary, Alberta from March 18-22 2024. Note that the final squad for the IPAC will be 12 athletes.
The Indoor Pan American Championships is a qualification event and the top two teams will qualify for the Indoor World Cup in 2025. The planned program is to have an identification camp, one tour to Europe and a centralization period in Toronto with the final team will be announced in early February 2024.
