Countdown to Rio at Ulster University

With just over 50 days until the Olympics in Rio, Ulster University has become a pre-Games training base for the Irish, Spanish and Canadian hockey teams who have been taking advantage of the world-class sporting facilities at its Jordanstown campus.

The University, which this year celebrates 60 years of hockey at Jordanstown, welcomed the Spanish women's team for a week-long training camp. Ahead of the Games, the Canadian and Irish men's hockey teams have also been staying and playing on campus as well as benefiting from the University's first-rate fitness and recovery suites.
