Why a Field Hockey Blog?

Welcome! I am launching this blog in an attempt to bring the field hockey community together to discuss hockey news, equipment, camps, issues, ideas, current events, and anything else that affect the game!

Field hockey is an international sport played in almost every country, yet growing the sport in this US remains a challenge. There are so many different aspects to field hockey, and yet there are not a lot of resources that are readily available for use. True, there are resources located in each region, but not readily accessible to the community at large. It will be fun to coordinate with the field hockey community to address these types of issues.

Let me give a little background about myself. I do not claim to be a field hockey expert, although I am an enthusiast! I am involved in field hockey through a number of channels, including recreational playing, umpiring, coaching, and league development. Recently, I was involved in the launching of a new league, and that passion has elevated my awareness of a general lack of community.

I am looking forward to good dialog, discussions, and ways to promote and grow the sport. More importantly, I am looking to create a place where the best ideas can be brought forth, discussed, and implemented across the field hockey community. With so much history and knowledge available, it seems silly to try and reinvent the wheel.

I believe that anyone who wants the game of field hockey to grow would be a valuable participant, and I look forward to hearing from you!
