March 12, 2020 – Field Hockey Canada has been closely monitoring the global situation with COVID-19. As you may know, the World Health Organization has now declared this a pandemic. Many events are being cancelled, including the PAHF Pan American Indoor Cup scheduled for later this month. Having consulted widely, Field Hockey Canada has taken the difficult decision to ground all our national teams from international travel and competition at this time. We are also postponing the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony scheduled for March 28th. This will now be re-scheduled for later in the year.

FHC continues to monitor the situation. We receive regular updates from the Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Sports Institute network who receive their recommendations from Canadian health authorities. These networks will inform our decision making as to when it will be considered safe to resume travel, competition and events. We will continue to provide updates on our website and social media channels.Â
With thanks for your understanding. Prevention through awareness and caution is our objective.
