MEET THE BOARD AND THE TEAM
Florencia -or "Flor"- originally from Argentina, played field hockey since young both at school and a sports club -my second home-, where I also coached junior teams for many years.
After many back to back winters chasing the snow, I stayed in Whistler for my first summer in 2020 due to the pandemic and decided it was time to return to the field.
I could not be more excited to be part of Whistler Field Hockey Club. Since we started it just a few years ago, it has been a fantastic place to make new friends and have regular meetups while also playing this super fun sport. Come join us!
Coming soon.

Joelle played field hockey all through high school with the nickname "Balls" (earned by accidentally spilling an entire bag of hockey balls on a public bus going to an away game with the team). She then didn't play for 20 years until she learned that Greater Vancouver has a huge women's league. She played for several years with the Surrey Sharks working her way up to Division 2. After moving to Whistler, she was missing the sport and ended up working with the muni to start a group here in 2021. Joelle says "I'm involved in many sports but field hockey is my passion".
