Field Hockey BC is pleased to announce dates for the upcoming 2022 FHBC Provincial Program Talent ID
and National Championship Team Trials. FHBC is pleased to announce that the 2022 Provincial Talent ID
Program will be a joint venture with Field Hockey Canada in being both a Talent Identification point for
the FHC NextGen Program, as well as a Talent Identification point for FHBC National Championship Team
participation.

Following FHBC’s Provincial Athlete Pathway Review in 2020, FHBC Provincial Teams at National
Championships will now be selected through a series of regional and centralized trials. For more
information on the general concept of this staged trial program, please see the review committee’s final
report here: https://fieldhockeybc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Final-Report-FHBC-Provincial-Athlete-Pathway-Review-Project.pdf

Both Team BC Provincial (Tier 1) and BC Regional teams (Tier 2) will compete at the FHC National
Championships being hosted by FHBC in the Summer of 2022. The National Championship Tournament
