SPRING CITY, Pa. – After a 5-year hiatus, USA Field Hockey and Canada Field Hockey’s Indoor Programs are bringing back the CanAm Indoor Series. Taking place March 19 and 20 at The Training Center in Spring City, Pa., the series will feature the Junior U.S. Men’s National Indoor Team and Senior U.S. Men’s National Indoor Team.
“The junior men’s indoor team has been working hard over the past few months in preparation for this CanAm Indoor Series,” said Erik Enters, Junior Indoor USMNT Head Coach. “We were fortunate to have multiple training sessions, play in several domestic tournaments competing in the men’s divisions - including the Boston Cup, National Indoor Tournament and Big Apple, and we are excited about our progression.”
