Field Hockey Victoria are working closely with the University of Victoria to be proactive in communicating field closures due to weather or other issues.

As a reminder, UVic has a field status page that they will update. Note that the status updated on the page is FOR THE DAY posted .

We will endeavor to also communicate to the team reps and umpires as well but the field status page is the priority for communication from UVic.
