Field Hockey Canada's stance on Beijing boycott
Field Hockey Canada does not support the notion of a boycott. We are committed to giving Canadian athletes the opportunity to compete at the Olympic Games. Athletes dedicate many years of their lives to train and represent our country at the Olympic Games and we believe they should be given the opportunity to realize their dreams and make Canada proud. FHC believes the Olympic movement and presence of an Olympic Games in a country to be a force for good and positive change.
