North Shore players will be all over the pitch for Team Canada in international field hockey play this year.
Field Hockey Canada recently named their 2017 squads with three North Vancouver residents – Hannah Haughn, Holly Stewart and Karli Johansen – earning spots on the senior national team. Last season Haughn ended her career at UBC with a fifth consecutive national title while also becoming the youngest Canadian player ever to earn 100 caps with the national team.
The 2017 senior women’s development squad will include a pair of North Vancouver players in Alex Thicke and Rachel Donohoe.
The North Shore is also well represented in the junior ranks with West Vancouver’s Madison Connell earning a spot on the Tier 1 junior development squad and West Vancouver’s Alissa Wong and North Vancouver’s Anna Gosney suiting up for the Tier 2 junior development team.
