Coaches, please forward to your teams.

Dear Parents,
The Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club is looking forward to co-hosting the U12 Boys Festival with Field Hockey BC this Saturday at Hamber. It should be a fabulous day of hockey with 14 teams playing 5-6 games each in the 2 tiers.

Thank you to those Clubs who were able to provide umpires and tech table volunteers. For schedules, click here. Without your help this tournament would not be possible. I would also like to thank Patrick Oswald who will be mentoring our junior umpires for the Black /Green/Red Hawks, Cowichan, Victoria Vampires, West Vancouver and the Falcons.

This year, we are also fortunate to have the Men’s National Team providing a BBQ between 10am and 5:30pm (weather dependent!) and a demonstration for the boys at 12pm. As you may know, the Men’s program lost $900,000 of funding from “Own the Podium” critical for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games preparations. To this end, they are hoping for your financial support via a tax receipted donation online by clicking here or via a donation at the pitch. We do hope you will be able to support them!

And finally, we will need a half hour between 12:30 – 1pm to water the pitches. Your assistance making sure the boys keep clear of the powerful jets would be greatly appreciated. And a word of warning, those on the sidelines may get wet but there will be a warning horn!

With fingers crossed for good weather, we look forward to seeing you all on Saturday!

Regards,
Ian MacKenzie
President, Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club
