VIENNA, Austria – Following a training camp held December 7 to 9 in Charlotte, N.C., the U.S. Men’s National Indoor Team Staff has named the roster that will travel to Vienna, Austria for the 2023 Rohrmax Cup from January 5 to 8.
The Indoor USMNT will compete in Pool B with Czech Republic, Switzerland U-21 and SV Arminen (Austria). Pool A consists of Austria, Belgium, HANK Mladost and Indonesia.
“This was a hard selection on many fronts,” said Jason Mulder, Indoor USMNT Head Coach. “I’d like to congratulate all those selected for the Rohrmax Cup. Our goal was to select a group of players that will be competitive in Vienna as well as speak to the culture of our indoor program.”
“I know every player is excited for the next phase as we prepare for the Indoor World Cup in South Africa. I want to thank all staff, players and USA Field Hockey for their support and efforts. A lot of what we do isn’t possible without their involvement.”
The last time the Indoor USMNT participated in the Rohrmax Cup was in 2020. USA finished 8th after going 1-0-3.
