LDOG 2,199 Posted March 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well, surprises to tell about... We withdrew from hosting the Men's champions trophy (long story I don't want to talk about, related to national politics, it gives me a headache) and FIH gave it to England (so they will host both Women and Men now). Obviously FIH kicked us out of the tournament, but the surprise is that they also didn't invite the Netherlands! I guess they rejected invitation for some reason (preparation for Olympics maybe). Belgium and India will be wild cards and join GB, Germany, Australia & Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they rejected invitation for some reason (preparation for Olympics maybe). Our coach Max Caldas: "We want to give our players enough rest. After the national competition and play-offs and the Euro Hockey League, there is way too little time until the Champions Trophy, so we'll skip this year." Furthermore, they got the invitation during the Hockey World League last year, but the technical director of the Dutch federation already immediatly said they wouldn't accept it. Mostly because the tournament would be exactly within the short time off/vacation for the Dutch team. Caldas then said they should go, but with a selection of players who would likely not make the Olympic team, so the rest issue wouldn't be a problem. However, apparently travelling to Argentina would have been too expensive, so they decided not to send any team. (and then it got changed to England, but the decision either didn't change or it was too late already) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

OlympicsFan 782 Posted March 17, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I am sad that our mens team has to work with a new coach. Markus Weise, who won gold at the last 3 olympic games (2004 with our womens team, 2008 and 2012 with our mens team), now works for german football association. Until a couple of months ago i was pretty confident that we would win gold again, but now i think that even a medal will be difficult.
