Not just that but I fear that this is as good as the Canadian team is going to get. Field Hockey Canada just can't afford to run both a men's and a women's program at the level required to qualify to the Olympics. A lot of the players live in Belgium.

 

I think most of the funding will go to the women. They're on the rise, and I remember Field Hockey Canada saying a few years back that the goal was to become a medal contender in women's by the 2020s.

The only fair outcome.

Ireland win on sort of controversy? to avenge their men. Now its all equal lol

No real controversy this time. The Canadians wanted to query one of the 8 second rulings (when Ireland scored) and they said it couldn’t be checked. Irish TV checked it and it was 7 seconds so all good anyway

 

Anyway...

 

So happy to see our women’s team qualify. They’ve been so close in previous qualifiers and finally got over the line! 
 

Now we just need to 0-0 (shoot out win) to a medal in Tokyo ?

 

So proud of the effort from these girls
