Hikers Hockey Club returns to Barbados Hockey Festival
A look at the mixed Hikers Hockey team from last year’s competition
The Hikers Hockey Club is set to return to the Barbados Hockey Festival, competing in both the Mixed and Masters categories. After a 15-year hiatus, the Hikers made a strong comeback last year, securing silver in the Mixed division. This year, the club has expanded by introducing a Masters Team for the first time, bringing together members who have migrated abroad for a reunion centered around their shared passion for field hockey. The 25-player squad will be traveling from the USA, Canada, Brazil, Jamaica, and Guyana. The tour promises to be an exciting, family-oriented experience, combining their love for hockey with socializing.
Recently, the Hikers held a successful Curry-Q and Burgers Lime to raise funds for the tour, and they extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the event, including friends and donors.
