FHC Membership

As the governing body and national sport organization (NSO) for field hockey in Canada, as designated by Sport Canada, we are charged with promoting and increasing participation in field hockey, including assisting our best and brightest athletes to excel and represent Canada on the international stage. Your membership dollars play a vital role in achieving these goals.

We share responsibility for developing and delivering programs with our provincial field hockey associations as key partners in the administration of field hockey. Often they are the first point of contact with our members and membership in a provincial association gives you automatic membership with FHC.

A membership with FHC is included in the registration cost of all affiliated clubs and Provincial Associations. If you are thinking about getting involved in hockey and playing in a local league, trying out for a provincial team, coaching or perhaps even some day playing for Canada at the Olympics or you just want to introduce your children to a healthy life-long sport contact your provinicial Field Hockey Association.

If you are not a member of an affiliated club or Provincial Association but still want to become a member of the national field hockey family you can purchase an Associate Membership directly from FHC. Please click the link to purchase.
