It is with great pride that Hockeyballe.com will support all the Quebecers participating at the World Ball Hockey Championships.
Two players from Quebec were nominated on the Canadian team (Samuel Fortier Danick Martel); and five national teams will get parts or all of their players from Hockeyballe.com (Haiti, Greece, Armenia, Lebanon and Italy). These players will be able to play for their heritage country based on the “heritage player” concept. (Heritage player: player who has the citizenship of a country or whose parents have).
In order to practice for the upcoming championships, Haitians, Greeks, Armenians and Lebanese are playing in the Hockeyballe.com League. Concerning the Italian team, a part of their players’ come from different teams in the league, while the other part is from Ontario.
