Irish U21 Men face USA & Japan
May 16, 2018
The U21 men depart for New York this week ahead of their 3 Nations series against Japan and hosts USA. Many of the team played in the recent series against England which highlighted the potential of this young side to compete with some of the best underage programmes in world hockey. Head Coach Jonny Caren hails his team’s progress and is looking forward to the tournament, which marks the start of a busy summer for all international squads “This year is the perfect opportunity to focus on the dual purpose of the U21 programme; to develop our athletes along the player pathway towards a senior international career and develop our younger athletes towards next years’ Junior European Championships. This 3 Nations tournament is an exciting opportunity to look at current and future athletes in a competitive environment. It will be excellent experience for our talented group playing against the different styles of Japan and America”.
