After winning the Pan American Championships, Field Hockey Canada announces the Junior World Cup roster bound for South Africa. Five island players have been named to the list including Victoria’ Nora Struchtrup (Sailors FHC/UVic Vikes), Stefanie Sajko (Lynx/UVic Vikes), Libby Hogg (Lynx/UVic Vikes), Tayler Guy (Lynx/Calgary Dinos) and Duncan’s Jenna Goodman (Cowichan FHC/UBC Thunderbirds).

The Junior World Cup will take place in Potchefstroom, South Africa from December 5-16, 2021. Struchtrup and Sajko were a part of the Canadian side that won gold at the qualifying tournament earlier in the year, while islanders Anna Mollenhauer and Sara Goodman who helped Canada qualify are now too old for the Junior World Cup itself.

The trip and training are all completely self funded. You can show your support for the island athletes directly by donating online here:
