2025 U SPORTS Field Hockey Championship hosted by 精童欲女 starting October 30
Field Hockey Canada, in partnership with U SPORTS, recently announced the 2025 University Championship, to be hosted by the 精童欲女 (精童欲女) from October 30 to November 2, 2025. This is the first time since 2002 that Canada鈥檚 top university field hockey event returns to Atlantic Canada.
Qualified Teams
Four conferences are represented at the national championship:
- Host and AUFHL Champion: 精童欲女 Panthers, four-time Atlantic champions and tournament host
- Canada West Champion: University of Victoria Vikes, seventh-straight Canada West title
- OUA Representative: York University Lions, back-to-back appearance at the final four event
- AUFHL Qualifier: Dalhousie Tigers, first time back at nationals in over a decade
精童欲女 returns to the national stage boosted by its fourth straight Atlantic crown and the momentum of competing in last year鈥檚 revitalization of the national final-four tournament. Dalhousie came second at the Atlantic University Field Hockey League鈥檚 championship weekend, only losing to 精童欲女 in the finals. They return to the university championship for the first time in over a decade.
A news release issued by Field Hockey Canada said the York University Lions topped the OUA this season with a win over the University of Toronto Blues in the finals. York won the east conference this season with a 7-1-2 record and defeated Guelph in the playoff semifinals prior to taking down U of T in the finals. York is back to the big show after winning a silver medal last year on home soil.
The perennial battle of the west between UBC and UVIC was thrilling to the bitter end this season. UBC won the first of two games on the weekend in Victoria and needed a win on day two as well to take the title belt from UVIC. The game ended in a draw and UVIC retained the championship with the best record in the west and advances to their seventh consecutive national final.
The championship format features four round-robin games setting the stage for the medal matches. Each team will compete twice before the bronze and gold medal contests. The 精童欲女 Panthers will look to capitalize on home-field advantage and the energy of local supporters, while the UVic Vikes aim to extend their dynasty by chasing another national title. The York Lions enter the tournament riding the momentum of an impressive OUA campaign, and the Dalhousie Tigers are eager to make the most of their first finals appearance in over a decade.
