National Junior Men’s Hockey team departs for T&T

Aug 01, 2015 Sports

Guyana’s national junior men’s hockey team departed on Wednesday afternoon for Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) to compete in the Players Tournament which is scheduled for August 1st to 8th.
This is the second phase in the Guyana Hockey Board’s three-year programme, which has received partial support from the Guyana Olympic Association through a team preparation grant.
The programme is designed to prepare a squad to represent Guyana at the Pan American Junior Championships which takes place in Toronto Canada in June of 2016.
The players had their first intense training session on the artificial surface, Thursday morning at the National Hockey Center.
They were also expected to have a light session yesterday morning, before taking on Malvern Sports Club at 16:00 hrs followed by Queen’s Park at 21:00 hrs.
Although this will be the first time any of the players have been exposed to an international outdoor tournament of this level, their coaching staff has high expectations of the team which has shown steady improvement since their developmental tour in December of 2014.
The coaching staff explained that the team’s focus will be on efficient execution and adjusting to the speed and high level of intensity which the artificial turf provides for the international game.
The side will rely heavily on the poise and experience of national senior players Andrew Stewart, Aroydy Branford and captain Mark Sargeant since most of the team is young and inexperienced.
