As we approach the end of what has been a challenging year for everyone, we wanted to take the opportunity to look back on some of the highlights from a disrupted but still exhilarating FIH Hockey Pro League in 2020.
We have established a shortlist featuring the best fixtures and goals from the competition, covering the matches that took place between January and March as well as the games that took place when the FIH Hockey Pro League returned between September and November. Now we need you to tell us which ones are the best!
You can vote for your favourite matches and goals in the Live & Upcoming section of the Watch.Hockey App, which can be downloaded for free on Apple and Android devices. The goals and highlights clips are available on Watch.Hockey, with complete matches also being available in most countries, subject to geoblocking.
The voting process will close on Saturday 5 December.
The shortlists for the best matches and goals can be found below.
