The world's largest amateur field hockey event, USA Field Hockey's National Hockey Festival traditionally attracts more than 3,500 athletes from across the United States, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean competing for titles in men's and women's divisions including women’s age group (Under 16 and Under 19), boy's age group (U16), women’s open and mixed. Previous divisions include men's open, sectional, masters (women 35+), and veterans (men 30+). Originating as the National Sectional Championships in 1922, the Festival adopted its current multi-divisional format in 1981 by introducing tournaments for high school-aged players and club and open teams.

The National Hockey Festival will move to the City of Phoenix for its 2010 and 2011 editions. The Phoenix Regional Sports Commission, in partnership with the Greater Phoenix Convention & Visitors Bureau and City of Phoenix Parks & Recreation, will serve as tournament hosts.
Reach 11 Sports Complex in North Phoenix will play host to the four-day long event that traditionally begins on Thanksgiving Day. Reach 11 currently has 18 lighted fields for play.
“USA Field Hockey is delighted to bring the National Hockey Festival to Phoenix,” said Karen Collins, Director of Event Logistics for USA Field Hockey. “Reach 11 Sports Complex is a fantastic facility, and the location is very accessible to athletes and their families traveling from across the United States. We look forward to working with the Phoenix Regional Sports Commission.”
Phoenix Regional Sports Commission President Jon Schmieder commended the team effort needed to secure the Festival. “The Greater Phoenix CVB, Phoenix Parks and Recreation and our area hotels worked well as a team over the past year in putting this bid together,” Schmieder said. “This is another great example of how entities across the Valley cooperate to achieve a common goal. Hosting this event is a home run for our community during a typically down time for tourism in the Valley.”
JBS Destination Solutions will continue to be the exclusive housing services provider for USA Field Hockey. JBS will be responsible for accommodations for all participants and officials. For more information on area hotels and accommodations, contact Vicky Vassalotti at (561) 296-0817 or info@globaljbs.com.
