The Pan American Hockey Federation is pleased to announce the 2021 Pan American Indoor Elite Teams.
Since 2007, Pan American Elite Teams have been named every two years to recognize the top players in Pan American competitions. For the first time in 2017, separate Indoor Elite teams have been named to give deserved exposure to the top indoor players, and to the indoor game itself.
Hockey specialists present at the 2021 Indoor Pan American Cups in Spring City, USA, were consulted for the selection of this year’s Elite Teams.
For the Men’s Elite Team, 2021 Pan American Indoor Champions Argentina take the lion’s share with 5 nominations, including 3 returnees from the 2017 Elite Team (Agustin CEBALLOS, Juan ELEICEGUI and Joaquin GONZALEZ).
Silver medallists USA have 4 nominees, including Pan American Cup top scorer Pat HARRIS, while bronze medallists Canada have 3 nominees, including 2 returnees from the 2017 Elite Team (Gurtej DHALIWAL and Micah TEXEIRA).
On the Women’s side, 2021 Pan American Indoor Champions USA have 3 nominations, including top scorer of the Pan American Cup Rose HOPE and Ali CAMPBELL, a returnee from the 2017 Elite Team.
Silver medallists Canada are rewarded for their strong performance with 4 nominees, including 2 returnees from 2017 (Alison LEE and goal-keeper Kathryn WILLIAMS). Bronze medallist Argentina have 3 nominees and Uruguay have 2 nominees.
