CALGARY (660 NEWS) – The Alberta government is pitching in to upgrade Hawkings Field at the University of Calgary.
The Alberta Field Hockey Association received a $300,000 grant to resurface the playing field.
“I cannot express how much value this new surface brings to our field hockey community. It is an amazing gift to thousands of field hockey athletes and enthusiasts across the province, and allows our sport to continue to flourish and expand in Alberta,” said Burgundy Biletski, executive director, Alberta Field Hockey Association.
The field is the primary facility for the University of Calgary Dinos women’s field hockey team, 1300 AFHA members, and more than 700 athletes in Calgary Senior High School Athletic Association.
The upgrade to Hawkings Field will extend the life of the facility by about 15 years.
