Men’s National Hockey Team Named for Uruguay
After four months of training the Men’s National Hockey Team is in its final week of preparations for the 2014 Indoor Pan American Cup, scheduled for Uruguay from the 7th to the 13th of April. The team is scheduled to play several matches against rest sides at the National Gymnasium over the coming week to fine tune their systems and strategies.
Guyana will be up against regional power houses Canada, Argentina, USA and Uruguay as they attempt to qualify for the 2015 Indoor World Cup in the week long tournament.
Members of the National Training Squad before the final team were shortlisted.
Although several fundraisers were undertaken, the team still finds its self short of the required funds to make the tour possible and will be depending heavily on corporate support to reach its budget target over the next two weeks. The team is scheduled to depart for Lethem on the 4th of April, then travel by road to Boa Vista before making connecting flights to Manaus and
Sao Paulo, arriving in Uruguay on the 5th of April.
The team features a balanced blend of experienced nationals such as Devin Munroe, Aderemi Simon and England based Marvin Dannett, complimented by a young and exciting crop of play makers including Jamarj Assanah, Aroydy Branford, Raphael deGroot and Andrew Stewart. The team is further solidified by the outstanding talents of Anthony Cole in goal.
