Women’s Indoor National Program

The story of our Women’s National Indoor Team is one of determination and fortitude. The team represents a dedicated group of athletes balancing both the commitment and training required of national athletes while pursuing studies or their professional careers. Many have had the privilege of representing Canada as a national athlete in previous indoor World Cups, on the senior or junior women’s national outdoor team or are just beginning their pursuit of national aspirations. Ranging in age from high school to mid-30’s, this diverse group of individuals are united in their focus to represent Canada to the best of their ability.

The Women’s Indoor National Team competes with intent to qualify for the FIH Indoor World Cup. This requires the team to attend the Indoor Pan American Cup every two to three years depending on the cycle rotation.
