Hockey Bio: Mags started playing field hockey when she was 6 years old, and from the minute she touched the ball, she fell in love with the game. She started for a club in Hilversum (the Netherlands), but moved to England after a couple of months, where she played for the Dutch School. After 2,5 years in England, Mags moved back to The Netherlands, where she played for Klein Zwitserland, a club in The Hague for about 3 years. After that she moved to France, where she didn't play for about a year, since she didn't know of a club in the area. During that year, Mags just realized how much she loved the game and how much she missed it when she couldn't play. Luckily she found a club after a year, so for 4 years Mays played for Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a club in the suburbs of Paris. During my University years in Utrecht, she started playing for a 2nd ladies team in Hilversum again, but after a while joined their first team and played with them for about 7 years, untill she moved to Chicago in September 2005.

CFHC Experience: I joined CFHC at the start of the 2004 season after not having played hockey for close to 5 yrs. It has been a fantastic experience ever since. The diversity in our club and the welcoming nature of our team regardless of what level of hockey you bring is fantastic. I have never enjoyed playing hockey as much as I have when I do with the folks of CFHC.
