Teams for new international tournament that will replace world league (named "Hockey Pro League") were decided:

 

Men : :ARG:AUS:BEL:ENG :GER:IND:NED:NZL:PAK 

Women: :ARG:AUS:CHN:ENG:GER:IND:NED:NZL:USA 

 

All the nations that I predicted more or less. The only "shock" for me is India in women, but FIH is practically owned by India nowadays through sponsorship, so...

 

Pakistan will play their home games in Scotland (?) due to security reasons.

 

The format will be home and away round robin.

It won't replace the World League, but the Champions Trophy. The idea quite interesting for gaining money in countries, where field hockey is more popular (TV rights, sponsorship etc.)

It will replace parts of World League (Semifinals and Finals) while initial stages (Round 1 and Round 2) where majority of the nations participated will continue as before. There is still some confusion regarding Olympic/WC qualification. Hopefully, FIH would clarify about that soon.

^That and also New Zealand men and Italy women have qualified for the world cup. It is also noteworthy Chile women team making a big upset by beating USA in semifinals, but it wasn't enough since they had to win the cup to qualify for WC, a real pity for a team that has progressed a lot lately. IMO they deserved better luck at world league.

 

Next up european top divisions starting on Friday.

Men: :ARG:CAN:USA are guaranteed a spot at the 2019 Pan Am Games in Peru. For women :ARG:CHI:USA 

 

I think we can safely assume that in Women, :CAN and :URU most probably are going to qualify, due to Argentina and Chile winning their spots in the 2018 South American Games.

 

Meanwhile, disaster performance by both Mexican teams, men especially, as they now have to play 2019 Pan Am challenge :wall:; not only that, but both squads must earn at least silver at next year's Central American and Caribbean Games in order to be in Lime

Can Brazil qualify for the 2019 Pan Am Games? (Men's, of course)

 

Needs for either a) Trinidad to reach the final of CAC games and Argentina of the SA games or b) make the final of SA games themselves.

They are top 2 in South America based on performance at the Pan Am Cup, so if they repeat that performance at the 2018 South American Games then they will qualify. T/T is almost guaranteed a spot, so I wonder if they will send their best team to the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games, which if they don't then we might see them fall out of the top 2.

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
