CANADA vs IRELAND

Women's National Team

January 9th to 19th, 2009

Overview

The Canadian Women’s National Field Hockey Team will play five international friendlies versus the Irish Field Hockey Program from January 9th to 19th, 2009.   These games against Ireland represented a key opportunity for the Canadian Women to prepare for the

2009 Pan American Cup taking place in Bermuda in early February.

Commenting on the impending series coach Louis Mendonca said It is a new beginning. With all the retirements, we have seven new faces with a cap (international game) average of 25. The players and staff are looking forward to competing after many months of training, I am confident the team will bring grit, heart, and passion to every match they compete in. It is very important we retain the lessons learnt, to ensure our preparation for the Pan Am Cup in on track.
