Delegates from around the World, which included CBHA President Shelley Callaghan were treated to a tour of the World Championship venue for the 2015 World Men's and Women's in Zug, Switzerland. It became quickly apparent that this tour was going to be spectacular. Mainly from the fact that the 8000 seat arena which is home to legendary euro team EVZug, and the splendour of the city with the alps nearby pose a great backdrop for the best Men`s and Women`s players of the World to congregate.
For the CBHA and its High Performance program at both the Men`s and Women`s level this is a championship that will provide them a opportunity to play the game in a great setting, in great arenas and also to experience Zug the capital city of this region of Switzerland. The CBHA National Team programs must start preparing for what promises to be a intense event as this area of Switzerland has a ball hockey tradition with the Oberwil Rebels 7 time champion of the Swiss league which will provide a strong fan base along with the 30 National Teams coming. To prepare the organizing committee is building a rink for the Women``s right next door to the Main rink. In addition the B Pool will be using the practice rink of EVZug and that is also right next door to Bossard. Each rink having its own level, with all finals ending in Brossard. Finally the Swiss organizing committee will be building a huge tent with a stage that will have nightly music and create a festival atmosphere for Players, Coaches, Staff, Delegates and Family.
If you are a top Canadian player, this event is one to strive to make the respective National Team that will be representing Canada in 2015. Obviously the CBHA is in the process of naming GMs in a competitive process and once named they will begin to work on plans on how to find the right players. And we all await news of these leaders.
For players this makes the 2014 Nationals in Saskatchewan very important. Not only for the CBHA from the historical context that this will be the first ever Nationals held in our member province. But more importantly that this 2014 Nationals will be thoroughly scouted as the Women and Men National team staff watch the players do their stuff. Simply put if you want to reach Zug, that road goes through Saskatoon for CBHA top players.
One thing for sure. The CBHA is proud to offer this link to its players through our family at the ISBHF, and we thank the Swiss Ball Hockey Association and Zug organizing team for their efforts. For the players, coaches and staff who aspire to represent the CBHA and Canada. The work to get to Zug for those who earn those sweaters has begun.
