ABOUT THE JAMAICA HOCKEY FEDERATION
The Jamaica Hockey Federation (JHF) was formed on January 31, 1998 although, through the amalgamation of the Jamaica Men’s Hockey Association and the Jamaica Women’s Hockey Association. The sport has historically been recorded in Jamaica from 1903.
The JHF is a member of the international governing body of hockey, the Federation International de Hockey (FIH), the regional body, the Pan American Hockey Federation (PAHF), and locally, the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA).
JHF headquarters in Mona maintains an international-standard, all-weather artificial playing field at which the highest level of play occurs.
The facility also allows the JHF to host major international competitions. The FIH and PAHF have already identified Jamaica as an ideal geographic location for this.
