U.S. National Field Hockey Festival

Monday, 04-DEC-2006 by Donald MacPherson - HydroComp Technical Director

HydroComp was well represented at the U.S. Field Hockey Festival last week in Palm Springs, California. Managing director Jill Aaron and I were in attendance, and former HydroComp engineer Jennifer Stamp was playing in the Women's Open division with the "State Schoolers". During her time as a mechanical engineering student and field hockey player at the University of New Hampshire, Jen interned with us then started her professional career here at HydroComp after graduation. Jen's accomplishments in field hockey are impressive as a past All American and an alternate to the U.S. Under-23 team. It was great to watch Jen and many other former UNH players and friends as they worked their way through the tournament.

Field hockey is something that has long been a part of HydroComp's activities. In addition to sponsoring youth teams, Jill Aaron is a former player and is now coach of a local indoor field hockey team. As for myself, I got into field hockey some years ago as a goalkeeper, and now play for a team from Boston, as well as participate in U.S. Field Hockey national team development programs both as player (everyone needs a goalkeeper - even one as old as me!) and as a goalkeeper coach in their grassroots "FUTURES" program.
