CANADA MEN AND WOMEN U18 FINISH DAY ONE UNDEFEATED IN LAS VEGAS
Canada's Men's & Women's Under-18 Teams finished day one of the Youth Olympic Qualifying tournaments undefeated in Las Vegas.
Canada's Men's Team opened day one with a 31-0 win over Jamaica before ending the day with a 48-0 victory over Barbados. Our Women's Team easily handled Barbados 57-0 and then Mexico 67-0.
Both teams will close out the pool stages tomorrow against USA before the knock out rounds on Friday & Saturday.
As per IOC rulings only one male and one female team can attend the Youth Olympic Games from each nation. Currently, the place is held for women’s rugby and men’s field hockey in Canada. If the women win in Las Vegas they will automatically attend the YOG this fall, if the men win they will have to wait to see if the U18 men’s field hockey team qualifies as well. If the Canada men’s YOG field hockey team does qualify our men’s program will unfortunately not attend the games.
Both men’s and women’s teams will compete against USA, Jamaica and Barbados in a round-robin style tournament with the winner being crowned on Saturday before the start of the HSBC Las Vegas Sevens.
