4) Recognition of Excellence Album

Field Hockey Canada is proud to have a large group of umpires and officials that span across the nation. We recognize that their excellence from club, to provincial, to regional, to national and even international level, surrounds us every day and greatly contributes to our programming. We asked our community to nominate individuals in their area for this excellence! All nominations will be displayed on our website hub. It’s not too late for you to nominate someone today
