Muller hoping big hitters will turn on style

IRELAND senior women’s hockey coach Gene Muller is hoping his players will give him plenty of food for thought in this weekend’s three-game series against Canada at Belfield.

Guy Garrett took the coaching reins as Muller watched a number of his fringe players in action for Ireland A against the same opposition earlier this week, recording a 2-0 win and a 2-2 draw.

But the majority of Muller’s heavy hitters are in action this weekend, bar Munster’s Eimear Cregan and Hollie Moffett, who are sidelined by foot and facial injuries respectively.
