Field Hockey Canada (FHC) is the national sports organization responsible for the development and growth of field hockey in Canada.[1] In collaboration with provincial and club members, FHC provides programs and resources to support the field hockey community from the pitch to the podium.
Prior to 1991, the Canadian men’s and women’s field hockey programs were operating independently as separate national entities. The creation of Field Hockey Canada was the result of transitioning and uniting both programs under one umbrella.
National Teams include Senior Men, Senior Women, Junior Men and Junior Women.
Approximately 18,000 Canadians play field hockey, with 9,000 participating in high school field hockey programs.[2] Field hockey is currently played in more than 600 schools and 400 clubs across the country.
