The Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) has selected an 18-man squad to participate at the upcoming Pan American Junior Championships in Toronto, Canada from May 20th-28th.

The team is at full strength after senior national players Hilton Chester, Daniel Hooper and Kareem McKenzie were allowed to be members of the squad.

Through an arrangement facilitated by the Ministry of Education Exams Division with the University of Toronto’s Athletics Department, the three players will be allowed to write their Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) and Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) examinations that take place during the tournament in Toronto, a release from the GHB stated.
