Dinos FHC

Dear Coaches,

We are very excited to host your team in the Fourth Annual High School Field Hockey Tournament at the University of Calgary, May 7-10. The coaching staff of the Dinos and the players have an invested interest in the development of field hockey players in the city of Calgary and interior of British Columbia. We appreciate the hard work that you are doing in providing these athletes with the opportunity to play the game of field hockey.

The fee for this tournament is $300.00 which can be made out to the UofC Field Hockey Club. Thank you to the teams that have already paid. We will be providing a variety of field hockey items and equipment from Advantage FH.  There will be awards for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place, players of the games and an overall MVP of the tournament.

At this time we would also like to introduce myself as the head coach of the University of Calgary field hockey program. I will be at the field throughout the tournament and will enjoy meeting you and your players.

There are many opportunities for players to achieve their goals both academically and athletically at the University of Calgary. This tournament will give us an opportunity to look at some of the best players on your teams. If you have any players interested in playing at the University of Calgary (in any grade) please let us know so that we can speak to them.

Dinos Field Hockey hopes that you have a positive experience and your players have fun. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.

I am looking forward to meeting and talking to each of you. Thanks for your interest.

Well done, ladies!

Fourth-year defender Teryn Buna was named a Second Team All-Canadian at the CIS banquet in Toronto yesterday. Teryn capped off a tremendous season for the Dinos by scoring both goals in a 2-1 victory over UVic, helping break a winless streak dating back four years.
