Philip Fernandes shares a moment with his championship GCC girls on Sunday last 

Guyana’s male and female hockey teams are tentatively scheduled to visit Canada in 2019, a move which will ensure the continuity of the sport’s development in Guyana. 

 This disclosure was made by President of the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB), Philip Fernandes at the conclusion of this year’s Diamond Mineral Water Indoor Hockey Festival Sunday last. 

 “This is our last event (Diamond Mineral Water Indoor Hockey Festival) for 2018 and going into next year, we’ve been invited by Canada to bring a men’s and women’s senior indoor hockey national teams to compete against Canada and Belarus on the women’s side and on the men’s side, it’s against Canada and Russia in tri-nation tournament so the focus now is on that to see if we can get it done,” Fernandes explained.
