USA to Host Junior CanAm Indoor Series in March

NEWTON, Pa. – USA Field Hockey and Field Hockey Canada's Indoor Programs will compete in the annual CanAm Indoor Series on March 16 and 17 at the Philly Sport Center in Newtown, Pa. This year it was decided by both nations that because of the conflict with the Indoor Pan American Cups, the 2024 edition will feature the U-19 boys only and that it will not be a Pan American Hockey Federation (PAHF) sanctioned event.

“I am pleased to announce the squad for the 2024 Junior CanAm Indoor Series,” said Erik Enters, Junior Indoor USMNT Head Coach. “We are looking forward to this competitive series.  The last two series between Canada and USA have seen majority of the games decided by a single goal. We anticipate evenly matched games again.”

“This year we are excited to welcome some new west coast players to the squad. Chenmay, Luca and Mehtab will be making their first appearances with the Junior U.S. Men’s National Team.”

Alex Beauduin (Princeton, N.J.), Zane Boler (Lewisbury, Pa.), Benedikt Guth (Madison, N.J.), Donatus Guth (Madison, N.J.), Jesse Ickes (Lewisbury, Pa.),), Chenmay Komandur (Danville, Calif.), Lucas Mous (Weston, Fla.), James Polashock (Hainsport, N.J.), Eknaam Singh (Los Gatos, Calif.), Mehtab Singh (Los Gatos, Calif.) Mason Tortora (Pikesville, Md.), Jack Weitzman (Fulton, Md.)

The traveling alternates are Zach Canady (Suffolk, Va.) and Charles Zarrow (West Roxbury, Mass.).

The Junior Men will be led by Erik Enter and Rennie Milne and managed by Tabitha Boler. Aaron Finer will be the physiologist 

To prepare, some junior men’s athletes competed in the National Indoor Tournament and Big Apple International Indoor Championship.

The CanAm Indoor Series resumed in 2022 after taking a 5-year hiatus. This annual event features both the junior and senior teams for both men and women, with the host and location alternating each year between Canada and the United States.
