Dalhousie Field Hockey

The Dalhousie Field Hockey team is a competitive club that promotes student-athlete development, fitness, and respect in sport. We are among the most competitive teams in the 8-team Atlantic University Field Hockey League, and have won the championship 6 times since 2010.

The team is led by a coaching staff focused on player development, team dynamics, physical fitness, and sport psychology. Our core coaching staff is made up of Dalhousie alumni who continue to contribute to the provincial development of the sport.

The season runs from the beginning of September until the end of October, and consists of two to three weekend tournaments to determine league placement. A final weekend tournament is played for the Atlantic University Field Hockey title. All tournaments are held within the Maritime provinces with rotating hosting duties between the universities.

Anyone with an interest in field hockey is encouraged to try out for the team. Tryouts are typically held during the first week of September, and a team of approximately 20 athletes is selected. Our season is short and sweet, so we expect a high level of engagement and commitment from all of our athletes.
