In early October at the opening of the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) first-division men and women’s leagues at the Providence National Stadium, Minister of Culture, Youth & Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., had issued a challenge to the hockey community, to start decentralizing the sport. That challenge is being seriously considered by the GHB according to it’s president, Philip Fernandes.

The spread of the sport nationwide is especially appealing due to the yet to be discovered talent that is sure to be present in the various regions across Guyana.

In an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sports, Fernandes spoke at length about the benefits that could be had from the sport going countrywide.
