Hockey in Jamaica is taken very seriously, with teams at all levels from juniors to masters. The national team is training hard for the Pan Am Games being held in the Dominican Republic in August.

Trinidad Hockey is doing well on the international circuit, with the women's team victory over the USA recently qualifying them for the Indoor World Cup being held next February in Leipzig, Germany.

The Barbados Banks Hockey Festival held every August is a must for any hockey team looking for a Caribbean hockey holiday.

With a good many local teams and more international teams every year, this event is becoming a firm fixture on hockey enthusiast's calendars.
