Three Kelowna women join National Field Hockey Team

Bullies, flagrant fouls and undercutting your opponent. It might sound like "Mixed-martial arts," but we are actually talking about Women's Field Hockey.Three young Kelowna women have been called up to join Canada's national women's field hockey team. Danielle Hennig, Nathalie Sourisseau and Abigail Rae are training right now in Vancouver for the Pan American games set for October in Mexico. They hope to use the Pan Am games as a qualifying event for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
