2024 FHBC Provincial Program Pathway – Updated to now include U21 Male Athletes

FHBC is pleased to announce that this year’s U18 Provincial Program has been extended to include U21 male athletes. Field Hockey Canada and all involved Provincial Sport Organizations (including FHBC) met formally this week to collaboratively assess and consider the competitive depth of the athlete pool across the country. The decision taken from this collaboration is to raise the age group for the U18 Male National Championship for 2024 to U21. The rationale behind this change is to maintain as meaningful environment as possible for participating athletes, whilst at the same time fostering the potential for greater provincial participation.

If you are a U21 male athlete interested in National Championship participation (July 23-28 @ Tamanawis Park), please see our Provincial Program page for the nomination and registration links.  Deadline to register is May 3rd.

Athlete Development Program


The FHBC Athlete Development Program (ADP) is geared towards the holistic development of the player. This program offers an optional opportunity for athletes in the development to performance stream to engage in continuous training sessions for a 4 to 8 week period. 

The curriculum, aligned to the National Field Hockey Skills Matrix, will cover a wide range of technical skills and basic gameplay concepts, as well as elements of fitness information and sports science. 

The ADP is a complimentary athlete development opportunity to FHBC’s Technical Development Program (TDP) which differs in its prescriptive curriculum that focuses on a specific field hockey skill or skills. 

The FHBC Athlete Development Program and Technical Development Program are not associated with the FHBC Provincial Program Evaluation and Talent Identification Pathway. 


Registration Information

Please note that for the 2025-26 season this program is not being run.  Please see the Athlete Accelerate Program page for current program information in your area
