‘TTHB faces possible fines, suspension for Pan Am Cup no-show’
Page 34 |
T&T’s Hockey Board (TTHB) could also face a series of reprimands, as a result of missing the quadrennial international field hockey championship for the Americas. Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, Senator David Nakhid said part of the reason for the delay in the processing of the funds was due to the TTHB being non-compliant in certain aspects, particularly in reconciliation funds from previous tournaments.

‘HOCKEY HURTING: Pan Am Cup no-show leaves players, staff uncertain of future |
President of the Trinidad and Tobago Hockey Board (TTHB) Willard Harris said the board did everything within its power to ensure participation, but the situation eventually spiraled out of their hands. He explained that after applying for funding months in advance, the board kept following up with SporTT and the Ministry of Sport but faced prolonged delays. Mr. Harris also noted that coming down to the time last month, there was not any indication from the Ministry of Sport or SporTT that they were not going to fund the team’s participation in the tournament.

Ministry blames hockey board for Pan Am no-show |
The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs yesterday laid the blame for the failure of the Trinidad and Tobago men’s and women’s hockey teams to attend the Pan American Cup in Uruguay at the feet of the Trinidad and Tobago Hockey Board (TTHB). A release from the Ministry stated that the TTHB has been non-compliant in submitting audited financial statements on time and has not yet submitted statements for 2024. It also said, ‘its failure to adhere to funding policies established by SporTT significantly hindered the funding approval process, resulting in delays that negatively impacted team preparations.’

Ministry: Hockey Board non-compliant in submitting audited financial statements |
The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs said the reason the TT Hockey teams did not receive funding in time to compete at the Pan American Cup is that the TT Hockey Board has been “non-compliant in submitting audited financial statements on time and has not yet submitted statements for 2024. The Ministry also said the TTHB only requested funding for the Pan Am Cup in early May. Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, the honourable Phillip Watts expressed his disappointment with the situation and noted that when sport governing bodies fail to address financial and compliance matters such as these, it is the athletes that pay the ultimate price.

TTFA to consider Melville counter-proposal |
The executive of the TTFA is expected to meet soon to evaluate a final counter-proposal from the representatives of veteran sports commentator, Mr. Selwyn Melville, owner of the Soca Warriors trademark. There seemed to be some hope of a resolution following last week’s meeting, where Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of Sport David Nakhid served as arbitrator between the TTFA, represented by first vice-president Colin Murray and the trademark owner and Melville and his team. However, the situation remains unchanged.
