Guyana will be fielding a girls’ team for the first time at the Junior Pan American Hockey championships next month in Barbados and Philip Fernandes, President of the Guyana Hockey Board and head coach of the squad believes participation in the tournament will support the development of the sport locally.

Fernandes said that while it is a fairly young team, the Board decided to provide exposure to the new squad of players in the World Cup qualifiers to be held from April 10-18 at the National Hockey Centre in Barbados.
