Field Hockey Canada > Men's National Team confirms Chile Tour roster

The Canadian Men’s National Field Hockey Program has announced the Men’s National Team roster which will be travelling to Santiago, Chile in January for a training tour.

The touring roster consists of twenty-two atheltes who have been selected from the 2015 Men’s National Team and Senior Development Squads.

As a part of their ongoing preparation for World League 2, which will take place at the end of February, the men will train in Chile before playing six matches from January 18-25, 2015.

“We played a lot of matches this year for us – not on a world scale – but certainly for us it was great to play as many matches as we did,” says Canadian Men’s National Team head coach Anthony Farry. “Now, we need to match that this year and probably exceed it a little in order for us to be successful.”

The men are coming off a tour in New Zealand during which they played seven matches, four of which were against the World No. 6 ranked New Zealand Blacksticks.

Eighteen of the twenty-two players who will be going to Chile were on the New Zealand tour.
