Great set everyone!! The support for this even has been so outstanding that I am finalizing dates for the new year. I hope you can all make it!!

Without any further delay I would like to congratulate the Red team for finishing at the top of the charts. I think I speak for all the other teams when I say, “see you on the turf in the new year!”

The finalized results have been attached as a pdf. The top three scorers were Derrick Notron followed by Brenden Bisset and James Kirkpatrick who tied for second.

I will send out Information for the new year at a later date. I hope to see you all in January!!

Hello fellow competitors!
Week two of Superleague was a blast! (although a tad chilly). Here are the scores from November 20th along with the overall standings and scorers table.

I would like to thank everyone for coming out to play and umpire and we will hopefully see you this Sunday, December 4th, for the final event of this trilogy!

The Field Hockey BC Volunteer Recognition and Annual Awards Dinner took place on Nov. 4 in Vancouver, B.C. and honoured several athletes and volunteers for their hard work over the past year. Field Hockey BC president Ian Baggott was on hand as the Master of Ceremonies.

Duncan-native Diana Roemer, a Cowichan High School graduate, was named the Senior Female Athlete of the Year. Roemer has amassed 71 caps following her most recent international competition – the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Roemer has also competed in the 2011 Champions Challenge and the 2010 XIX Commonwealth Games. Vancouver’s Scott Tupper was named Male Athlete of the Year.

During the Volunteer recognition awards, the 2011 Senior Nationals hosting committee in Victoria was honoured in the Event Hosting category.
