Field Hockey Canada trains at Shawnigan
Men's Olympic team prepares for Rio
Canada's men's field hockey team is heading to Rio with the support of Shawnigan Lake School.
Team Canada left the School on Thursday, having spent the past three days training on Shawnigan's water-based turf.
The camp included a free clinic on July 13, where community members of all ages could meet and interact with the Olympic athletes.
"It was just fantastic," says Men's National Team Head Coach Anthony Farry. "The facilities are first rate and we were really well looked after. We look forward to coming back and creating a partnership with Shawnigan."
In Rio, Canada will play in a pool alongside Germany, Argentina, the Netherlands, Ireland and India, beginning on August 6.
