Congratulations to Megan Robertson!
Congratulations to Field Hockey BC Umpire, Megan Robertson, on being named to the FIH Promising Umpire List. By being added to this list it means that she is a highly rated umpire who will be given more appointments and opportunities to develop over the next two years. Megan is also one-step closer to reaching the Grade 1 Level, which means that she could soon be considered for World Cup and Olympic Games appointments. We are very proud of Megan and the commitment she has shown to field hockey in Burnaby, in BC and across Canada.


Reminder: Umpire Rating Renewal
Attention all Field Hockey BC Umpires! Don't forget to renew your rating before August 31st, 2016. This is applicable to any umpire who has taken a Field Hockey Canada-approved umpiring course with us in 2005 or later, and is either up for renewal this year or has already expired, and would like to remain active as an umpire. This extended renewal process also includes those who successfully completed a course but did not submit the required field assessments. To find out more about this renewal process, please email Kathryn Pohran ([email protected]) to check your eligibility.
